   You tell the universe -- would that be part of   
   our overworked imaginations?

   No. There actually is suffering and things to address in the world. But   
   generating fear of a whole religion, immigrants, etc. is just using people's   
   imaginations and prejudices for a different kind of gain. If people are so   
   unaware that they're being manipulated - so bet it...   
      
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   
      
   all suffering and things that need to be   
   addressed in the world are simply a subjective   
   viewpoint consensus from those who comfort   
   zone their priorities of security and survival,   
   and not everyone is so extremely addicted   
   to the limited human perspectives that seem   
   to run the show. when I include everything in   
   our overworked imaginations, it just means that   
   in our abstractions as to human endeavor and   
   experience we are filtering our views through   
   our security and survival addictions and not   
   seeing not only the bigger picture but really   
   only misrepresenting to ourselves even the basic   
   stricture of human experience.
