b. …is something some people have but not me.
c. …is a powerful creative force that can change the world.
d. …is a bit of a waste of time, is it not?
e. …is good sometimes and at other times not. My imagination scares me sometimes. It is too easy to imagine the worst. I’m afraid the bad things that happen to others could also happen to me.

e. …if it is someone close to me I do what I can to change things so they are happy. Otherwise I ignore it.
