Dreaming......dreaming......dreamt.
The American Dream. The Australian Dream. The Singaporean Dream. All dreams of the great relaxing lifestyle that is almost unattainable, except for the few who have the wealth. Its a dream where work is minimal, and everything else is possible. They paint a great picture that leaves you craving for more. Then just when everything seems too perfect to be true, they snatch it away and bring out the bad guy, taxes, stress, the government. Suddenly life is this long draw battle of finances, and whoever masters it will achieve the dream. We get caught up in this whirlpool that never seems to end.
What strikes me as I think about these dreams is its lack of focus on religion. As if it is all possible without God. But who wants religion when it always talks about pain and suffering. We want wealth and health, life without taxes, stress, the government. Simply put, we want delusions. And what are delusions but dreams?
What are you dreaming about?
