 We have evolved this powerful sense of imagination. What happens in all times of conflict and cruelty is we shut empathy out so that we can do things that are unimaginable. And the way we avoid that is by kindling our imaginations and making those things unimaginable in turn. Imagination is a process of creating what is not but which could be. My philosophical conviction is that we did not come to keep the world as it is. We came to the world in order to remake the world. We have to change reality.
