I believe I identify best with abstract concepts sometimes better than tangible, palpable concepts. I understand what it means to love much better than what being a politician entails. Mundane concepts don't really resonate with me very well, but fantastical elements, such as love and emotion, and imagination are very much my strong suit. Being a writer, I suppose I'm considered one of the few that do understand this concept better than most, but I also consider children to be one of those few as well. When a child runs to his mother and doesn't care about another thing in the world, has only eyes for her, that is true love. When a child cries out for something they want, that is true devotion and sheer want, but a kind of unadulterated want, the underlying concept of who we really are as a people, deep down. So who should say that we aren't allowed to love, aren't allowed to imagine, aren't allowed to see things in a different way, just because we don't have a true definition for them? The abstract doesn't take a rocket scientist to wrap your head around, it just takes some imagination and faith, perseverance and trust. Oh, but wait, those aren't things I can identify for you...
