Imagination vs perception

Our senses are a critical input for our thoughts and our imagination, but what the senses perceive as our current reality also interrupt our current thoughts and imagination.

Our mind dances between imagination and perception. This dance is such a beautiful thing between what is and what can be.

What our senses perceive helps us to survive by making us aware of our surroundings and thus keeping us safe, without which our mind and its imagination would not exist in the first place.

But, without imagination we’d probably be stuck unable to make any progress and we’d run out of resources to support the body which is home to the mind.

It’s a precarious balance – the one between production which needs imagination, consumption which is necessary for existence, imagination which needs a healthy mind to thrive and sensory perception which help us both with imagination and exitstence.
