Margaret Oliphant, Scottish Novelist

Maybe this is the reason it’s hard to imagine why anyone would be cruel.

If those are the only friends they have, they sure don’t need enemies.

Ahhh! So if those who are bad lack imagination, than those who have a big imagination must be super nice. See! I always told you that I was a nice person! 😉

I can’t argue. To think you’re a nice person must require quite a big imagination.

Well, it’s easy to imagine strangling someone, or otherwise causing great bodily harm. I’ve done it thousands of times. But I think Oliphant’s point is that it takes a lot more imagination to find effective ways to deal with the assholes of our life, without killing them.

A good imagination spawns puns as well. So you always know you are safe around a punster.

That was from your own hand. If you’d use some imagination you’d find something softer to smack your head with.
