LOGIC REQUIRES IMAGINATION IMAGINATION NEEDS LOGIC
Logic is like dry toast. Toast with butter and jam is like logic soaked with imagination.
Dry toast gives nourishment. Toast with butter and jam provides nourishment and delight.
Logic fueled by imagination makes the abstract rich and meaningful. Logic void of imagination is dull; tasteless to the senses.
Imagination without logic leads to poor judgment, faulty decision making, and roller coaster thinking.
Logic without imagination leads to rigidity, the absence of emotion, mechanical relationships and loss of joy, love, kindness, passion, and many other delights.
As a basketball coach and a teacher of life for young people, my objective was to train players to play like warriors and to be able to shed tears like a child.
