Wow, this is seriously one of the best comments I have ever gotten. You should have saved it to use as a post cuz its so good! ;) I totally understand and agree with most everything you have said. But the way you look at those points and the way I look at them are totally different. Let me explain (in order)
- I want to choose dreams that are hard to achieve because those are the best ones, and I know I can do anything I put my mind to, so that doesn't discourage me at all.
- I have nothing but time for a good challenge in life and I love coming up with new solutions.
- I know that someone is always better, that doesn't discourage me, it only makes me try harder because I know whoever puts in the discipline and consistency will ultimately always be the winner not the luckiest or the most talented. I find that to be an amazing thing in life.
- DREAMS CAN FEED YOU. If you love whatever you are doing you will find a way to make money from it, even if its just blogging about it on steemit.. like you said, people don't need all that much to live ;)
Truth is all we need is shelter and food/water to survive. You don't need a government or even a society for either of those. People just choose to enslave themselves by wanting those extra things to be "comfortable" and to have "security."
I see jobs as slavery, that suck the life out of people who hold their own whips and chains of materialism and debt. I am not saying to not work, I just think we should work differently. I think we are completely out of balance on the work aspect of our lives, peoples lives are consumed by their jobs and I find that ugly a sad. But I obviously see the world differently than most and I have learned that truth is more important to me than friendship. I can't continue to lie to myself and the people I love so I understand I will be lonely. But dreamers often are loners in this world, like Nikolai Tesla and Leonardo divinche. For us dreamers not chasing dreams might as well be dying. To me it is more about the journey than the destination!
I am sorry I have to cut this off without finishing replying on all of your comment, but this got incredibly long already.. Just know I agree with most everything you say, I just view it all different, and that is ok that we see the world differently. I wish you well my friend and hope I did not offend you. Take care and best wishes.
