Imagination, creativity, and passion is the ultimate sin in America today. We have put such an emphasis on almighty pieces of paper, the diploma, certificate and certification that we have eliminated imagination. Free thinkers are not wanted, they are the outcast. Corporate America is looking for those educated idiots, that have learned to come up with the right answers. Not the correct answers but the right answers.

There is difference between the correct answer and the right answer. The right answers are the ones that get you the good grades in school, that promotion, the good job, makes you popular and everybody likes you. The correct answers are the ones that get you average grades, keeps you in that same job, the crappy job, makes you unpopular, and most people can't stand you. Imagination, creativity and passion can do all this for you.

There is a very good reason why this trinity is a sin and will always be deemed so. This reason is very simple, corporations and government do not want the general population to succeed. They are afraid that if we posses this trinity we will close the gap between the wealthy and the poor. The rich live in fear that their wealth will not be protected. These rich people want to keep the rich mans club closed to public forever and will stop at nothing to achieve this. Do you think that rich people are upset about the economic conditions of today? The answer is No. They have more buy power today than they ever had. I know your wondering where the government fits into this, governments work for those that pay the most. They don't work for the masses, they work for the few. Governments are bought and paid for.

If a job is what you desire than I suggest you forget imagination and become mindless. This is a large part in the key to climbing the corporate ladder. I have proof this works for those that want this. Have you ever wondered why your boss is so stupid? I have and have come up with the answer to this question. He/she didn't become stupid over night, he/she had to work at it. All those years of brown-nosing to get that job, shut off oxygen to the brain. There is a answer to everything.

My advise to you is to say the right thing, read the company memo and jump through that hoop, forget imagination, don't do anything daring, and never do any thinking on your own. Live for that weekend to forget how much you hate your job, boss, friends and the life you have. The alternative is to be creative and use your imagination with passion. I don't think you have what it takes to change yourself, the company, the government or a single thing in this world. I dare you to dare yourself to use that brain of yours.

The above is an article I wrote and the site deemed it as "Flash Fiction; His Imagination".  What do you think?  Is it fiction or the exaggeration of the truth?
