Can imagination be stopped?

Question:

Can imagination be stopped?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Imagination, unless one is deceased, will never cease to exist. No external influence can cause the stopping of imagination, as George Orwell's book "1984" proves. In the worst era of mankind, where even thinking thoughts against the government is a capital crime, the main character Winston Smith and others bravely defy the rules and imagine what life could have been if Communism hadn't ruined the earth.
