Marx wrote –
A spider conducts operations that resemble those of a weaver, and a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells. But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality. At the end of every labour-process, we get a result that already existed in the imagination of the labourer at its commencement.
What I like most about that quote is the emphasis on the creative power of imagination.
Our imagination is one of our most incredible resources.
It would be a shame to use to to scare ourselves each day with fears instead of using it to dream and to help us achieve our hopes.
