Imagination helps us learn by allowing us to picture what a situation would be like in real life. Such as in History, you use imagination to create a mental picture of how people used to live like, which helps you to better learn the concept.

One may ask “Why does it matter if imagination is greater than knowledge.” Well when you take a step back and notice just how much imagination helps us in daily life it makes you feel more grateful to have an imagination because if you didn’t have an imagination you wouldn’t be able to do all the things we do daily. Next time you’re learning something new and create an aide to help you remember the concept take a few minutes and just cherish the fact that you have an
