How the world would be without imagination?

After today's TOK class, I thought about this question very seriously. I kept asking to mayself over several times but still, I could not answer. I couldn't even imagine living without imagination. How? How the world would be without our imagination?

Then I started thinking in this way: why do I imagine things?

To be honest, I've liked imagining ever since I was very young. I liked to think of something that might happen later or in the future. Then I would start dreaming of a brighter and happier future and put myself there. This is what made me stay strong and positive.

In my opinion, the definitions of the word "imagination" are: to dream about things thar are not feasible and a thinking process that allows humans to be inspired and motivated. And I think those apply to my case as well. Even though I'm aware of the fact that I'm just imagining or dreaming about something that may not happen, I keep doing it because it gives ma a hope and makes me stay inspired and motivated.

In this sense, if there were no ability for humans to imagine, then the rate of sucide and the number of patients suffering from depression would rapidly increase. To us, living without imagination is the same as living without hopes. Furthermore, arts will no longer exist around us.

If I lost the ability to imagine, my world would be so desolate and monotnous.
