WAKE UP
AND LIVE
By DOROTHEA BRANDE
In everyday life, we tend to
think of the imagination as
something which may, perhaps,
be spoken of as "useful" to artists
of all sorts, but as being almost
the opposite of useful in the lives
of practical men and women.
To use one's imagination, gen
erally, is thought of as taking a
holiday, as allowing the wits to
go wool-gathering, the mind to
relax and sun itself. After in
dulging it—for we commonly
think of the exercise of the imag
ination as being in some way an
indulgence.
As a consequence we look wari
ly at the imagination, often seek
ing to check it, or, in some ex
treme cases, even to eradicate it.
That it can be of immense ben
efit in the most prosaic affairs is
an idea at which many readers
will balk.
But that is because they do
think of the imagination as a
faculty' which always wanders
unchecked, which must be per
mitted to make its own rules and
occasions, which is incapable of
being directed.
Instead of betraying us into
revery and resignation to unsat
isfactory . conditions—instead, ev
en, of being employed merely as
a means of recreation—imagina
tion can contribute to the making
of a good life.
Working as far as possible un
der orders from the will, and
hand-in-hand with reason, it can
explore new fields for our efforts,
can bring back to us some of our
original freshness towards our
work which we have lost by fa
tigue and routine; it can even
perform \ such a severely practical
function for us as to discover new
markets for our wares, or new
ways in which to use old talents.
First of all, we can use imag
ination to see ourselves and our
work in some perspective.
Everyone knows how a child
identifies himself utterly with all
he owns and does, with all those
who care for him. He is outraged
if asked to share his possessions,
the breaking of a beloved toy is a
tragedy, if it rains on the day
when a picnic was planned one
would think the sun could never
shine for him again. If a mother
or nurse leaves him while he is
awake, he has been most treach
erously betrayed.
In fact, much early education
has as its one goal the teaching
of the little egoist to see himself
in somewhat truer relation to his
world. More or less successfully,
each of us has had to learn this
lesson; but it is almost never
fully understood.
To our last days there is still a
trace of that childish egotism in
us sometimes so very much
more than a trace that an adult
suffers, resents, sulks, and com
plains in a way only too reminis
cent of the nursery.
• The infantile adult can never
see himself clearly; even less can
he see his work or the object he
has made quite as it is, undistort
ed by the over-estimation of per
sonal pride, or the underestima
tion of humility and fear.
Consequently he is never in a
position to know just where his
contribution does go in the
scheme of his world, and is at the
mercy of the reports of friends or
strangers. Even here he is be-1
wildered; however plain the
words may be, however just the
estimate which is given him, he
will not hear exactly what is said
because he cannot bring to the
moment his undivided and un
emotional attention. His intense
preoccupation with his own hopes
and desires spoils him as a re
cording instrument.
By looking, in imagination, first
at himself, then at the work he
wants to do, then at the audience
to whom he hopes to appeal; and,
finally, by bringing all these ele
ments into relation with each
other, he could keep his courage
from being undermined, his mind
unconfused by conflicting advice,
his estimate of his performance
just.
