There are enough real enemies and threats in the world without having to invent imaginary ones.

About This Quote

This quotation is attributed to the American politician Winston Churchill. It means that, in order to make the world a better place, we should focus our efforts on the real problems that are out there, not make them up. The quote may also be related to the idea of “hyperemesis gravidarum” , which is a severe form of morning sickness. The person experiencing it, or her partner, may feel ill all day long and then become violently ill with vomiting at the very moment that she or he is most tenderly vulnerable.

This illness is so debilitating that it often results in death. This condition is often referred to as “imaginary conditions”, because it is so physically debilitating that anyone would feel compelled to invent it in order to explain why they are so sick.
