"خیال و حافظه چیزی جز یک چیز نیستند که به دلایل مختلف نامهای مختلفی دارند."
— Thomas Hobbes
Simplified Meaning:
Imagination and memory are very closely related, even though we call them different things. Think of it like this: when you remember something from the past, your mind brings up images and feelings just like when you imagine something new. For example, if you remember your last birthday party, you might picture the cake, the people, and the fun you had. If you imagine your next birthday, you create a picture in your mind that is similar to those past memories. Both actions use similar parts of your brain to create these pictures and feelings. So, even though we talk about imagination and memory as if they are different, they are actually quite similar in how they work. This understanding can help us use our imagination to remember things better by creating strong, vivid pictures in our minds, or recall past events more creatively.
