Having dreams or goals is living dangerously. I took a sociology class and I learned that humans have stages. In about our late twenties we come to realize that our dreams and goals are unrealistic. All that time spent on trying to accomplish a dream is wasted. With no dreams life would become depressing. Individual once full of hopes and dreams will become an empty shell. When I read that people want to be authors or artists I laugh to myself. Art lives through the centuries and I guess it does make some people immortal. Only a hand full makes art that lasts. It might be worth the try but when they fail it's going to be a harsh awaking.
