Seeing is believing v. Believing is seeing

Picture life as a straight line that stretches to infinity. Now obviously none of us can see into infinity, so we can’t see the end or if there even is one. All we know is right now that line is perfectly straight.

It’s a curious thing, but those who can see how the line changes and curves are called idealists or optimists. Those who cannot are called realists or pessimists.

Here’s one of my favorite quotes:

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
-Albert Einstein
