Imagination doesn’t grow from what we consume passively; it grows from what we wrestle with, reinterpret, and internalize. A screen delivers images ready-made, complete, finished. A book forces the mind to become the missing architect
to build the worlds, give faces to characters, and animate silence with meaning. The difference isn’t moral; it’s structural. One stream keeps you inside the frame. The other invites you to redraw it.
