What about the boogeyman?

Well, what about the boogeyman? He's imaginary. Made up. A figment of our imagination. So what's the simple interpretation here? We fear imagination

Well then... that clears up quite a few things, doesn't it?

However we came into being, we were somehow created with this brilliant ability to imagine anything we want to. ANYthing! We were given this amazing gift and what's the first thing we do? We stomp all over it and treat it like a zombie virus. So that in turn creates this weirdly obscure fear that our visions, dreams, thoughts, wishes, and desires are pushing us one step closer to becoming Patient Zero. Nobody wants to be the origin of the zombie apocalypse, so I guess it makes sense that we pretend we don't have any imagination.

Every single one of us is our own boogeyman. The only reason we have fears is because we choose to subscribe to them, whether they originate with us or not. What we should be doing is imagining this gallant luck dragon engulfing the zombies and illuminating the shadows where all the boogeymen dwell.


At the moment, I'm willing to wager you're judging my sanity from my placing zombies, boogeymen, and luck dragons in the same instance. Just remember that logic we employ imposes limits. Heavy limits, at that. Try to feel happy and light when you're bogged down with fear as you turn every corner. It's not easily done.


Your imagination is just that - all yours. Why would you willingly sacrifice that to fear?
