"...dream on man!!!"

(taken from my Facebook Notes dated February 23, 2010)


I got carried away today, so i started writing... It's been some time since I last blogged...

We tend to look up to people and circumstances. The higher we look up to them, the higher our expectations become. The higher our expectations become, the higher our fall becomes when they fall short of our expectations. The same thing happens when we dream. the skeptic would ask us, "why dream when everything else is dictated by the real world?"

The skeptic may be right, in a way. We ask for things that our mind can behold but later on we are left depressed and anxious because the world did not play harmoniously into how we wanted things to be. The reality of things will tend to negate our longing, it will tend to negate what we hold dear in our minds. It will contest our desires by telling us: "Wait, don't do that because...", "Wait, it's not time yet because..." Skepticism will show us that our dreams are not attainable because of the reality of things. It will tell us that dreams are only dreams because they are not real.

I agree and I refute the skeptic. I agree with the skeptic because he is right, dreams are not real. I disagree with the skeptic because dreaming is not an activity of reality therefore it should not be equated with reality.

Dreaming is an activity of the ideal. Dreaming is a result of the mind's workshop. Dreaming is an intangible force of human nature that allows every single individual to go beyond reality and make things better for everyone. Dreaming is an intricate design of the unseen and untouched that every individual possesses, which allows him to ascend from the real to the "superman" that he wants to be. Dreaming should never be considered an activity of reality. It is dreaming that drives reality. Continue dreaming and we will soar to greater heights. Reality is only an effect of dreaming. Reality would cease to exist if we stopped dreaming.

The ideal person should never stop dreaming in spite of the difficulties he encounters in day-to-day challenges. The ideal person is the one who drives communities and societies to make things better.
