Lailah Gifty AkitaImagination is the greatest solitude
About This Quote
Imagination is the greatest solitude. When we’re alone, we often think of things that aren’t really there. This is a form of escapism, a way to quiet our minds and let our minds wander away from reality. But this kind of thinking can be detrimental to our mental health.
It can lead to depression, anxiety, and other disorders. If we’re not careful, our minds will drift into fantasy all day long—and that can make us very unhappy. In fact, our imagination is part of what makes life worth living.
We need to be able to redirect those thoughts from fantasy into reality, and genuine happiness can come from doing so.
