Spongebob Can Give You Life Lessons!!

        Hey everyone! How's it going? (bored) Yea me too, I was just watching Spongebob when he gave me the most important lesson in life! You want to know what it is? It's that you always have to have....

    

     I don't think I could've gone my whole life not knowing that! Ha ha, but it did get me thinking. What causes imagination? Why do some people have a better imagination that others? Since I am a very curious person, and I have to know everything, all these questions WILL be answered by the end of this blog. Alright so let's get started!



      Imagination is the ability of making mental images, feelings, or thoughts that aren't gathered from sight, hearing, or any other sense. Imagination helps fill in the gap for things you don't understand. It makes the world make sense. It's also used a lot when you're learning. Like when you're little, and you hear a story, you learn key words and other things you don't notice by using imagination. It does this by triggering this small part of your brain that fills in those gaps. It takes the words and phrases you hear, and turning it into something that your senses can pick up. Imagination is also used in phsycology to help mend the brain.



I don't know about you guys, but I like the right side more!


   











     The things you see in your imagination is called, the "mind's eye". Basically, imagination is your mind trying to escape from reality and trying to preseve things differently. It sends messages to your senses which interact with what your imagining to make it even more real.
















     




     So that answers one of our questions, now let's answer the next one! It was why do some people have a better imagination then others. Well, as I said before, imagination is the thing that fills in the gaps in your brain when it doesn't have all the knowledge it needs to make something make sense. Kids don't know as much as an adult so the brain has to fill in more gaps than it does for an adult brain. 





     Did any of you have an imaginary friend when you were little? I sure did! I actually had two! Mr. Ghost and Mr. Boo were their names! I acted like they were real so much that my mom even started to believe they were real! Did any of you wonder why you have them? Well, kids watch TV so much that the brain takes that information and fills it in those gaps we were talking about. Since kids have so many gaps, all the imagination makes something. It makes something so real to you and your senses that your brain believes that it IS real! Pretty cool huh? In fact, it is so cool that they made a show about that! It was called Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends!! 

BEST SHOW EVER!!! 

    So you see, imagination is more important than people think. It can make boring things seem fun! Without imagination, we would all be boring, lazy people. And no one wants to be that! I'M AWESOME AND I KNOW IT!! And here are some awesome links about imagination. I'M AWESOME! I'M AWESOMER! I'M AWESOMEST!
