Are people who have more imagination (or who use their imagination more) better

Are people who have more imagination (or who use their imagination more) better people (more moral, cause less suffering, make better choices)? For example, I could argue that: - imagination leads to more empathy for others, more understanding of others points of view, more tolerance - imagination leads to creative solutions to problems (rather than punch the other guy in the face) - imagination allows a person to forsee the potential consequences of actions, and make less destructive choices - imagination stimulates thought, expression, variety, the artistic side of life which feeds the human spirit - imagination improves tolerance of others because a person is more comfortable with novelty and differences I often wonder if a certain kind of person or a specific person had had more imagination, would they have been a better person, or not have done something awful that they did.
