Which is better?

Well if I want to keep my average of a post a week I'de better hurry up and get this written. I have several idea's for different posts, but all of them will take a little to long to write right now, so they will have to wait for the future. However I know I have a loyal reader base out there in web-world and I don't want to disappoint you all, so here is a quick fix for your blog cravings.

Several things have come up that may lead to changes in the future for me. I've noticed in the past that often the anticipation of an event is just as good as the actual event itself, sometimes even better. This time I really doubt that the possibilities can come close to the real thing, but it got me wondering. Why do we build up the future in our imaginations? Why do we puff up what is coming so much that we set ourselves up for disappointment? I have even gotten sick with anticipation, and I know that this isn't just me, because my friend's brother has come down with the same illness.

I actually started this post out with the title question in mind but after many tangential thoughts and writing out what I have, I have another question to ask. Why would you ever choose imagination over reality? Imagination might be quicker, easier, and possibly even better at first, but it always leads to a dead end with no future. So as an encouragement both for myself and you, however good imagination may seem, be patient and wait for the real thing because there is absolutely no comparison.
