Can you imagine for a moment how many people John Lennon scared while writing Imagine? Not the end product, but the process that went before it and probably long afterwards in his head, in what he shared with others close to him. When you start deconstructing things that others around you believe as ultimate truths, you force them to either think or hide.

Most people choose to hide. And what they choose to hide is in rationalization and denial.

Never share your dreams with “practical” thinkers. You’ll just scare them into thinking you’ll do something nutty.
