What Walter Mitty Taught Me About Reality and Imagination

Have you watched The Secret Life of Walter Mitty?

I liked this movie because Walter’s reality became far more beautiful than his imagination.

Could he have imagined that he would run for so long, ride a skateboard with a volcano behind him, fall into the ocean where sharks live, or become the last photograph on a magazine cover?

Probably not.

Imagination is limited to what we already know.
Reality isn’t.
That’s why, sometimes, reality turns out to be more beautiful than imagination.
