Your Vivid Imagination is Ruining Your Relationships Right Under Your Nose
It’s like a magician stealing your wallet
The human imagination is a genuine force of nature.
Over the past few thousand years, it’s taken us from scratching buffalo dicks onto the wall of a musty cave to making timeless proclamations about mankind as we stepped onto the face of our craggy sibling satellite that illuminates the night sky.
Currently, this marvel of evolutionary curiosity and adaptive creativity is pulling my attention away from this screen over to the little one I have face down on the other side of the room as I imagine how many notifications my phone must be getting without my eyes being glued to it.
Oh, how versatile this wonder of nature is.
Our imaginations are what set us apart from the rest of the entire ecosystem, but that doesn’t mean they are without fault. We may have used it to rise above our club-toting origins and elevate ourselves to the top floor of the food chain, but when it comes to our interpersonal relationships and the ways in which we inexplicably sabotage what’s in our best interest, we’ve still got some work to do.
