imagination problem

About 5 years ago, I attributed the existence of all the bad things in the world to a problem of imagination. For example, when the Tower of Babel falls down, people have no language communication, so they cannot imagine what other races have in common with themselves; divorce is because the couple cannot imagine a better future; war is because politicians cannot imagine civilians and soldiers Suffering; narrow-minded and conceited, because you can't imagine that there are things in the world that you don't know; evil, because you can't imagine the suffering caused by doing evil; hunger, because the rich can't imagine the suffering of the poor; China has not taken won the Nobel Prize because education destroys the imagination of children; children grow up to be impersonal and uncritical people because they have lost the ability to imagine another world view and another explanation; a certain A company fails because its leaders have no imagination; someone kills himself because he can't imagine a better life; a bad painting is because the artist lacks imagination; a boring story is Because novelists have no imagination; a film review that retells a story is because I have no imagination; I continue to give examples because I didn't expect to say what to say...

Later, I slowly forgot that I invented such a simple and elegant theory, Maybe I didn't invent it, maybe it's a theory I saw in a certain Murakami novel -- I like Murakami because his novels are bizarre and imaginative.

In short, I’m actually a guy who likes to imagine. During a summer in high school, in order to brainwash myself and forget the math I hate, I would lie in bed for hours at a time, looking at the ceiling and imagining every corner of the world. From polar bears to the Mariana Trench, from Byzantium to the coast of Hokkaido... I'm not that imaginative, I can only imagine these things. I can't imagine anything better, because the textbooks I've studied and the TV I've watched don't give me much material to imagine. Later, I fell in love with Harry Potter, which is indeed a very imaginative story. I imagined myself wandering the halls of Hogwarts, the Chamber of Secrets, the enchanted forest, all kinds of magical things... But, looking back now, I was really just an unimaginative child who liked to imagine. But that's okay, being able to imagine the event itself has brought me a lot of fun.

Pixar tells the story of the Superman family in the most imaginative way possible. This story is completely different from stories like "Night Banquet", "No Grade", "Seven Swords", and even "Yangtze River No. 7", because the story is complex enough that it cannot be summed up in a few plots and a few sentences. All the details and all the characters are the result of the fine weaving of the screenwriter's rich imagination, and complex and imaginative things are often extraordinarily beautiful, just like the Mona Lisa's smile, which can evoke people's emotions imagine.

In Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky" and "My Neighbor Totoro", I have also seen this kind of genius-like imagination, this kind of magical beauty that seems to be unattainable for ordinary people and worthy of repeated taste. And "One Piece", which I liked very much, is because I'm getting caught up in the vicious circle of crazy pk, and the most fascinating and ingenious adventure stories seem to be less and less ─ unimaginative stories that don't need to take up my time .

Sometimes I think that my life should be more imaginative, but most of the time, I just stop imagining, and more often, I even stop imagining. I still can't imagine life without imagination. I vaguely feel that a more imaginative world will definitely be more beautiful.

Thanks to Pixar for taking me to another imagination, perhaps awakening my slowly withering imagination.
