Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.

Much of what we treat as solid is held in place by shared imagination: what counts as fair, what counts as beautiful, what a life is supposed to look like. That does not make these things fake, since they govern real behaviour and real institutions. It does mean they were made, and anything made can be made differently.

Take one rule you live by that feels like a law of nature. Ask where it came from, and whether it is one you would choose if you were inventing it today.
