In an ordinary, everyday frame of mind, you may look at a situation and say, "So, that's how it is." In a creative frame of mind, you could look at the same situation and say, "That's how it is now, but what if...?" Imagination takes over and reshapes the familiar world.
What if people lived backwards, starting life old and wrinkled and growing younger and younger until we fade away?
What if you had a closet in your room that was really a time travel capsule
What if Grades in school were awarded randomly--say, by lottery or by picking them out of a hat?
What if you suddenly found yourself totally alone in Times Square and discovered you were the only living thing in New York City?
What if our atmosphere became poison and we had to live underground?
What if children were forced to leave their families at the age or twelve to take care of themselves and make their own way in life?
What if dogs could talk?
What if schools, stores and businesses all ran on a 24-hour schedule, with some of us going to school from eight to four, some from four to midnight and some from midnight to eight in the morning?
What if people were all different colours?
What if human beings had fur, as most mammals do?
haha, enough of what if(s). Thing is, if you do let your imagination run wild a bit sometimes, you can really get yourself out of the hustle and bustle of life today. Take a moment to think up your own "what if." Nothing is a wrong answer. Nothing is too absurd.
