dream
How did the gross inequalities we encounter daily come
about? Survival of the fittest? The reality is that if a person is born with
more, he usually is closer to his dreams than one who isn’t. He does not have to
be fitter than the rest. You and I may dream of a better job, a new car and a
new house. There is a large part of humanity that dreams of food, shelter and
good health, or has stopped dreaming of those things altogether, because they
are too much to ask for. Will their children have a better chance?

How far have you reached in life? Do you have your
dream job, drive your dream car and live your dream life? Dreams are seldom
reality. But you keep trying to make your dreams reality. That is why you do
whatever you do, everyday, whether you like it or not. But at every moment that
you are toiling for that dream job, car or life, somebody is enjoying that very
job, driving that very car or living that very life. Why? He was born with a
whole lot more than you were. You are taught that you have to toil to make your
dreams reality while he is taught that good things are a part of life. Does it
seem fair? The farther your dreams are from reality, the farther your children’s
dreams will be from reality. Not that their dreams are different, but because
their reality will be more competitive and harsher. If your dreams ever come
true, it will be usually at the expense of your children’s dreams. Or you will
have to give up your dreams so that your children’s dreams come true.

A perfect society sounds like a dream. We have to start
believing that dreams can become reality. But we have to start from the basics.
We cannot hope to provide employment and opportunities for the youth if we
cannot provide food and shelter for the baby child. We cannot hope for a
crime-free society without first nipping off the buds of crime before they get a
chance to form, i.e., preventing the very circumstances that promote and sow the
seeds of crime.

People forget their dreams and try to think of and
adjust to reality. They say to others: “Forget your dreams; see how harsh and
unrelenting the reality is.“ If reality is so harsh, then why do we keep
bringing more humans into this world? Let us stop, make things better and then
think of bringing more people into this world. Why do we give up so easily?
Let’s make it happen.

At any time in life a person should have to work only
to obtain the luxuries, comforts or conveniences one aspires for in regards to
his wishes, dreams or personal projects.
