a figment of his own imagination
prad
speaking
we are all figments of our own imagination. that is why it is a good idea to cultivate that imagination. without imagination, we become trapped by knowledge and become intellectual casualties. imagination sparks within us adventure, courage, vision and compassion.
"i imagine, therefore i evolve!"
(... or at the very least, i imagine i
evolve lol)
