The anticipation of the destination

it's the imagination that leads to the creation
of jubilation
at the place of termination
the manifestation of the speculation
hallucination?
are seldom of any adequation that meets expectation
this miscalculation leads to depression

Wordplay! Hehe.

Yes, yes, I know it's horrible, but it's fun nonetheless. Oh, thesaurus.com, you are a fun resource. :)

But what I want to get at is that sometimes (a lot of the times, for some people, it seems) is that in trying to imagine how something is or how something will turn out, they set themselves up for failure. They wanted X, Y, Z but only a derivation of X happens and there is disappointment.

However, rather than talk about expectations, false hopes, disappointments, and all that boring stuff (it's a hackneyed discussion for me), I want to talk about how interesting and awesome the imagination is.

To create a reality that has not happened to the point where a person derives some kind of truth from it; that is how powerful the imagination is. That's amazing.

In line with my candyland oasis blog entry (I do like that one), as long as one is aware that they are in the realm of the imagination, it's fine. It's when the imagination bleeds into reality without the person knowing that it becomes dangerous, if only because the person creates a false sense of happiness that does not exist in circumstances outside themselves.
