Well, I mean, to draw an analogy:
If you have a child, a young child, maybe five or six, who talks to an imaginary friend, you may or may not permit it. Talking to imaginary friends may or may not seem customary and cute with children. But when your child grows up, and tries to take his/her place in the real, adult world, there comes a time to stop believing in the Easter Bunny, Santa, and all your other imaginary friends. In my perspective, there is no other way to be a fully developed and functional person, to meet your full potential, as long as you cling to comforting aspects of a child's mentality.
