Like Tin said about her wdding pictures (which I looked at nearly all of them :-D ) Don't read on if you hate when i talk about deep jargon like i normally do. Here goes, I wrote this in Prague alone in my apartment and now it's immortalized on LJ were it will remind me of the feelings of peace and solitude i often felt in my appartment.
Theory of a Munzert
Life is a combination of actions accompanied by either knowledge or imagination.
Just as using only half of a math equation leads to a wrong answer, a combination of either imagination or knowledge with out action also leads to a faulty outcome. A man can dream all his life of new contraptions for instance cataloguing them in his home but not reap any personal gain and even do society an injustice by never acting on his ideas to create these inventions, or another can read of the wonders of all creation compiling storehouses of knowledge that without action are worthless. A man who gathers knowledge with no action only wastes the blessing of life, like building a race car fast enough to win the race and never racing.
Another fault, which is perhaps most common, is action which is never accompanied with reason or imagination. Men who cannot see outside of their own point of view are surely destined to an existence full of unanswered questions. Men who never stop “doing” to consider why he is acting is more like an armature racer who wins races here and there, by chance, but is to stubborn to learn from his competitors when he is beat, he will eventually find the act of driving in circles to be a game of chance with no purpose. Finally, there is a road that has taken men beyond the scope of the insipid mind (and also down to the depths of hell,) this path is action accompanied by imagination. This path is for the gifted, and is the path that most men who are written about in books or spoken of in pubs have taken throughout history.
What is important to notice here is that both knowledge and imagination alone are useless foundations for life when they are not accompanied by action.
