A Crazy Dream

"You dream! Patty said. Even if you don't remember. Everybody dreams. If you didn't dream, you'd go crazy." pg 97. Are we meant to have dreams in order for us to really live a happy life? What are our reasons for living? Once we begin to understand why it is that we persist in our everyday lives, go through hardships, and keep our heads up to go through the unknown, we will know we do what we do because we dream of the future and the things it could bring. We might sometimes doubt what is to come, and whether it will do good or bad to us. Some things might look as if though they were to really change our life, and so we hang on to that. It is this dream that makes us want to face the impossible. We want to get to places no one else has gotten to, to experience things we could only imagine, and to get something we think will make us as happy as we could possibly get. And so we work for it. If we were to sit and wait for things to happen, our life would pass by without anything good to hope for. Some of us believe in destiny, while others believe in the creation of our own paths. But the point we want to get to is the same. We all want to be happy, and we have a dream we want to accomplish.

But what if we didn't have any dreams? What would be the case behind working all day if you don't know where you want to get to? Here is where the difference between destiny and the creation of our own paths differentiate. Would it be worth the while working if we were to think the future that awaited us was just something gray and boring? When we think of a negative future instance being something 100% accurate, we tend to really not put so much interest on how we get there. On the other hand, if we create a positive dream we want to get to, the way in which we act in our every day life would be a lot different. We therefore do need to have dreams to not go crazy. We need an inspiration, a reason to look towards the future. Those that have lost their dreams or think they did not come true when they wanted them to, tend to not enjoy things as others who still have them do. Dreams are meant to inspire us to pursuit greatness and to help us see all the great things we sometimes miss in the world of opportunities we are living.
