When Our Dreams Cannot Be True

We dream a lot. Constantly pursuing wealth, love, fun, wanting to visit lots of different places, meeting new people, living...

But what if our deepest dreams can't be reached? The more I think, greater is my pain. I want the impossible, but it's always so out of reach. Many religions promise miraculous feats, but I didn't see a thing. I have two legs, and i know if I lose them I will never walk again... I had things in life that I know i'll never have again... and why? Can fate be so cruel to curse us forever? I want to see everything with my own eyes, but all I see is a blurry mist. I keep telling myself everything is possible, yet I have never proved a thing. What's reality for then? To walk a dark path and die? Happiness can be achieved, but not to everyone. There will always be one crying, there will always be pain... and why, because destiny says so? There's not hatred without love, there's not sin without law, there's not evil without good, there's not impossible without possible, there's not life without death.

And we have no choice... we never had a choice... is this what we call free will? Free will to die? I just want to dream, I just want to have fun, I just want to love. Why.... why must our fantastic dreams always be better than our forsaken reality?

Anything is possible. You pick one dream and make it your life work and focus on that with everything and you can do it. Its funny that you said, if you lose your legs you know you will never walk again. Well you could get prosthetic legs.

There are dreams and and there are pipe dreams. Goals are one thing. Of coarse you can set them high. But you have to be realistic as well.
To take small steps towards your dreams seems more productive to me.
Sometimes people lose site of reality over such lofty goals.

Don't get me wrong.....Dream away. And I would wish the best for anyone with lofty goals and a high standard for themselves!!!!!!!

When you set your sights on a dream, a major dream, you have to believe you can reach it. It's no good letting doubt creep in and tell you that it's no good to try, that it can't be done. You can't sit back and lay the blame on life when you lose sight of your dream, or lose ambition or drive. And the mere question indicates doubt

In my opinion, the less you see life as a harsh, or "forsaken" reality, the better. You can't build dreams on decayed earth.

Hmm...not everyone can afford it, but yes it's not impossible. And they won't be absolutely like your lost legs. But what I'm saying is that you will never have THAT legs again. The point is: people aren't like "prosthetic legs", they can't be easily replaced, and even so, it happens everytime. People judge others constantly, just because we're not what they expect... I could have a better life if I had certain things, but I don't have. What in the world would replace my pain? And no, I'm not talking about liking someone who doesn't like me, this is normal and acceptable. I'm talking about people who misjudge and underestimate you, and the destiny doesn't give you a chance to react.

You're right, and i was expecting this kind of reply. But reality has a different meaning to different people, and as I said before I could be better now... and I'm not. And I'm not ambitious, I don't want to be "better" than others. Unfortunately, there ARE lost people who don't have any hope to live. It's not like I'm one of them, but I'm not that perfect. I want more money, to give it away and prove to people that they don't need it, I want more beauty, to show everyone that they can have it too, I want to have a full life, to prove people can have one too. But I always find out that I'm weak. My body is fragile. I realize I'm not invincible... and then I fall.

True. I always wonder why we always let doubt dominate us. But it seems so hard when no one believes in you... how can you prove false the beliefs of an entire civilization? While everyone says "no" you have to break an "unbreakable" rule of this reality. I don't like the word impossible...

It's the same for "miracles", "telekinesis", "obes" (they aren't accepted by many people), "precognition", they're always marked as "impossible stuff". This drives me crazy, because I'm the only one who can believe in myself.

I'm feeling quite cheery myself as well!
Honestly, anything's depressing when you say it like that!

Hey guys... I just one the lottery... *sigh.* Think of all the people that lost money buying tickets... I wish I'd lost.

I'm just kidding, and that's probably nothing like what you're talking about.

I'm not going to lie to you, I skimmed past all the pissing and moaning to the part about free will.

The laws that we are bound to in society can make you feel that way, no doubt, but you have to realize that its civilization that will ultimately be mankind's greatest downfall. It destroys what makes us human so much that we have to dream to do much of what we would hope for. The world around you forces you to believe that you can only dream it. "In your dreams pal", have you ever heard someone say that? You are a slave to our system, and can only live if you play our game to make money.

I have often wished that I could live off of the land, to be free and to not play this idiotic game of materialistic value.

ANYTHING is possible, regardless of what others may tell you.
"I think, therefor I am" So think of the improbable, and let nothing impede your journey. You are the shaper of your own world.
