Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.

Hey I see that few of you comment on this... So I have an idea. Let's let our imagination speak! each one of you imagine something that you would like to see as real and share it with us.It could be futile things or more serious ones. I know we can't change the world with "ifs" but who knows...
I begin.
Imagine we live in a peaceful world , without wars anywhere, without any hatered or hypocrisy...a world where rich countries help the poor ones and don't take benefit from them...a world with no hole in the ozon layer menacing us and our children...a world with no risk of global warming...a world with no stupid people ruling it...IMAGINE WE LIVE IN A WORLD WITH PEACE AND LOVE EVERYWHERE...
(I could have spent the whole day listing the description of this imaginary world..)
I dont think this will be the greatest world anyway, with everything good, no innovation will occur, and negative routine would install ...

Lalla DeadRose, whats if we had a lack of imagination sometimes? or do we need to imagine at all? ... with differents thoughts and definitions about imagination, sometimes it better to not have one, or just hear and read what the others imagine...Picasso considers imagination as real thoughts and says: "Everything you can imagine is real". Einstein saw the imagination as more important than knowledge, Freud gave more sexual interpretation to imagination and dreams, and in our Muslim traditional societies imagination is conditioned and dreams can be interpreted only by limited scholars…etc
