I cannot remember a time where my imagination was more vivid than as a child. Remembering those times bring me alive in a way nothing else can. Ultimately our creativity comes from the expressions of what we imagine. When our passions are ignited, through inspiration, our imaginations can take us to places none have gone before, there is always something more to find... it's never ending.
Too often a child's imagination is squelched, due to the media and commercial based obsessed culture that entertains children with toys and tv, which only give them a product without allowing them to use their creativity and imagination to grow, learn and develop. Ultimately, we will have adults who no longer posses any imagination or creativity, only the lack there of. We are taking away their right to develop, be themselves, and function fully as the human being God created them to be. Their individuality will be stricken with similarity of those around them due to the product commercialism creates. I am desperate to change that which has stolen the very thing that allows them to be children.
As a child you can imagine almost anything. A tree could be a castle, a bike could be a purple flying dragon. Now we have child sized castles and toy flying dragons. This only stops children's ability to imagine, it does it for them, and therefore that part of them doesn't fully develop... and all the things that come along with it like role playing, figuring out the world around them through play, exploration and exploration... gone.
