The Power of Imagination for Evil or Good
I just got done visiting Ground Zero in New York City and was reminded of a quote in last Sunday’s The New York Times Book Review from the book The Emperor’s Children. A character pondering how 9/11 could have happened thinks:
“It was an awesome, a fearful thought: you could make something inside your head, as huge and devastating as this, and spill it out into reality, make it really happen. You could – for evil, but if for evil, then why not for good, too? – change the world.”
That’s an idea all of us interested in positive change should keep in the forefront of our minds.

“what do you do when your dreams are destroyed?
… you create new dreams, better dreams, unselfish dreams and then you make it your mission to fullfill them”
