Love Quote by Peter Nivio Zarlenga

A businessman declaring "I am imagination" is a quiet power move: it steals a virtue we usually reserve for artists and mystics and rebrands it as an operating system for getting things done. Zarlenga stacks the senses like a sales pitch - see, hear, feel - but each line undermines the body’s authority. Eyes, ears, even the heart are framed as blunt instruments. Imagination becomes the upgrade: a private faculty that outperforms perception, sentiment, and lived experience.

The repetition works because it sounds like self-hypnosis. The cadence is simple enough to remember, insistent enough to convince, the kind of mantra that belongs on a conference stage or the first page of a leadership book. It also smuggles in a daring claim about legitimacy: if imagination can "see" what eyes can't, then forecasts, visions, and risk-taking are not guesses; they’re a higher form of knowing. That’s useful rhetoric in business culture, where conviction often has to masquerade as clarity.

The subtext flirts with contradiction. "Feel what the heart cannot feel" implies emotional intelligence beyond emotion itself - an almost managerial take on empathy, where affect is something you can outthink. Read generously, it's about creativity and intuition: the ability to model futures, anticipate needs, and invent possibilities before the market makes them obvious. Read cynically, it's permission to override evidence with confidence - to treat a compelling story as a substitute for reality.

Context matters: from a businessman, this isn’t escapism. It’s a justification for vision as authority.
