Think of the modern Saudi Arabian woman, never allowed to leave her house unless escorted by a male relative, not allowed to drive a car or vote and so on. It's easy enough to imagine a woman there being miserable. At the same time there are women there who are perfectly happy.

What's the difference between the two?

The miserable Saudi Arabian woman has an imagination. She can imagine a better life. While the happy Saudi Arabian woman does not. She instead just accepts things as they are and finds what little things there are to be happy about in her particular reality.

Excuse the analogy as I don't mean to make little of the horrendous plight of Muslim women but the same applies in America. If you have sufficient imagination you can be utterly miserable here. You can look around and see that although things certainly aren't as bad as in Saudi Arabia, we're still a bunch of pitiful barbarians.

If you have sufficient imagination anyway, you can see this.

The miserable Saudi Arabian woman might get killed if she dared say what she actually thought about her situation. In the US the situation certainly isn't as bad, but all the happy Americans also would respond negatively and anyway, speaking out doesn't do any good.
