dreams or nightmares?

Dreams, we all have dreams. We all need dreams. Dreams are motivations. Dreams are some nutrients that you need to grow, to move forwards, to succeed. Dreams are what you use to justify success, to feel proud of if you can realize them. Dreams, we all have dreams. Some dreams are just too far ahead, nearly impossible, or even crazy, silly or idiotic. But, some crazy dreams end up written down in history books, praised by the humanity forever. Some crazy dreams are twisted by human dark side of nature, realized into something that harm humanity forever. Some crazy dreams just stay crazy for the rest of the dreamers' lives.

Dreams can be either personal (e.g. I want to be a millionaire) or public (e.g. I want to save the world). But, dreams can end up nightmares if you are not careful. Dreams can end up some obstacles if you do not how to distinguish stubbornness and principles-abiding. One may ask, if you abandon dreams, would you be happy? If you have to sacrifice a lot to reach your dreams, would you be happier? No-one can tell, not those fortune-tellers, priests, prophets, etc. can even assure you whichever would make you happier.

In the TV show Heroes, character A and character B had the following dialogues:
A: Do you want a life of happiness, or a life of meaning?
B: I'd like to have both.
A: Can't be done. Two very different paths. To be truly happy, a man must live absolutely in the present. No thought of what's gone before and no thought of what lies ahead. But, a life of meaning, a man is condemned to wallow in the past and obsess about the future.

No matter what, we need dreams. We must have dreams. Maybe those dreams are just too common, like to have a small family and live happily ever after, but they are needed. Dreams can be nightmares if we are not careful. They can haunt you for the rest of your life. But, dreams can be utopia if you judge carefully. Dreams, such abstract yet such critical elements in our lives. No matter what, don't abandon all dreams, maybe a little bit of adaptation?

Every one needs a Dream. It bring purpose to life. But a Dream stays as a Dream unless we strive hard to make it happen. We can always start off with a Small and Achievable Dream, and everytime it is achieved, we then move on to another Dream, but this time sure the difficulty and commitment increased. These small dreams achieved over a period of time might lead to ultimate dream though.

One of My Dream, is to see the World Rid of Hunger. Just really cant imagine that a small fraction of $$ used in Weapon today could rid of world hunger... but the Advance Nations like USA just ignore it. Sad huh...

It is an achievable dream, but yet the advance nations dont have it.
