Little know it all...

I guess this is something that everyone who knows me, or has crossed paths with me has thought (and the brave and true have also said) for me.

How true they are...

Some people have a dream of becoming doctors, others lawyers. Most have something very set, clearly defined, while others always struggle - throughout their entire life! unthinkable! - to find what is it they want.

What can you say? Nothing...

What can you do? Be patient, I guess... Or sympathetic... Or pretend that you understand... Or lie to them (and yourself!) that it is ok not being able to do so; it is ok not to have a dream, a goal... Either would do.

Or, simply tell the truth. But no! We've been through this so many times. We don't do truth nowadays. It is not polite, politically correct, or acceptable to say the truth! People may get hurt, or even worse, they might actually realise what is wrong! Going back though...

What can you do about a dream that is to have all your dreams, passions, whims and stupid, idiotic, rational, irrational thoughts and urges, etc realised!? What can you do about a dream that entailed having personal experience of nothing and everything? How can you make that come true? And in the unlikely event that it does come true (because you spend so much time, effort and blood! to make it so), how do you go about interacting with the surrounding environment?

Try and try as you may, it will never be right, it will never be enough and it will never be acceptable. So why try after a while? Why not simply accept the fact? And the fact is that if anyone achieves that dream, they will either have to find a couple of other likeminded individuals (seriously doubt that this is likely to happen, but I know it is not impossible...) to share it with, and by definition expand it, or accept their wisdom and experience and live in isolation or forfeit it (I don't believe it's possible, but never hurts to try, even for a while) and pretend that everybody are the same. Yes, you could do that...

I'd take option two if I ever had to choose... But since I am not anywhere near that, I shouldn't really be talking, should I?
