My favourite quote in that speech is this-
"Imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. In its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared."
I've never seen imagination that way before I watched this speech. It's a gift and something humans need to cherish. We can't let apathy take this ability away from us for it will only make us inhumane. Such is one of the purposes of Mankind- to empathise and stand as stewards of God in the service of our fellowmen.
