Imagination
Michael Holroyd on why we should listen to Shaw today:
Shaw believed that the only revolutions which would not lead to counter-revolutions, landing us back to approximately where we had begun, were bloodless revolutions, revolutions that arose through changing the mind of a country by its writers, philosophers, thinkers, men and women of imagination.
why not the every man and woman, every boy and girl, and for that we need not become a writer or a thinker or a philosopher(one who loves truth).

No, but one has to have imagination.

There is another word -Compassion.Will this do?
The Compassion, which someone practises while sending someone to his hometown or while taking care of the stray animals or to reply to comments of the strangers.Does someone so good need an imagination to act like that.I feel otherwise.It should happen or happens in a very natural manner.
