Imagination inspires beauty...but...
Imagination inspires beauty...but...
Practical reasoning and common sense gets the paint on the canvass.
Imagination and feeling embarks on new paths...
Practical reasoning and common sense keeps the car on the road.
Imagination and feeling can see a new and better world...
Practical reasoning and common sense can see the danger of excess and prevent the destruction of what is good in the world.
Imagination strives to solve every problem...
Practical reasoning and common sense pays the bills.
Imagination and feeling falls in love...
Practical reasoning and common sense keeps a marriage sound and stable.
Imagination and feeling "moves mountains"...
Practical reasoning and common sense applies itself to those things that can really be done.
When we are without imagination and feeling we are without art, music, and dreams...
When we are without practical reasoning and common sense the real world drowns in false notions and withers upon its own foolishness.
When practical reasoning and common sense pretends to act from the heart, we get shitty art, and soulless creation...
When imagination and feeling pretends to act for practical purpose we get chaos, sloth, and the rise of tyranny.
Feeling inspires imagination and practical reasoning inspires common sense.
Some are for some things and some for another. The real world would cease to function without either.
...Now, pay you bills, save your money, assist those in need, and listen to a good piece of music...preferably at an art museum and, by all means, don't pretend that half of reality is invalid because you've locked yourself into illusions or self-deprivation.
