On the contrary, the brilliant Albert Einstein posited that <em>\u201cImagination is more important than knowledge.\u00a0For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So it is the world of imagination that really conceives of our reality construct. It is our imagination that dreams our perception of the world into being.<\/p>\n<p>In choosing to pollute our world, we have distorted our reality.

Then we end up discovering that it was there all along and really, we were just coming home to ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>_______________________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #610b4b\">What do you think?
