In life, there are only two world where people live. Some of us live in reality while others live in dreams. What are their similarities and differences? Which of them is better to live into? Then, more and more questions are in my mind to the point I ask myself, which of the two world do I want to live?
I remember a famous quote that says "truth hurts, reality bites." Indeed, to live in reality means to live in truths although living in reality hurts you sometimes. Commonly, it happens when your capabilities to do things but then nobody cares. For an instance, in a kind of society where we live, a lot of ill-mindedness exists. To live truthfully means depriving yourself from the excitements of life, from the material things life can give, from the shallow and happiness life can provide or from all earthly things. These promises deceive people to leave their life of reality to the dream land which only exist in their minds instead. But no matter what you do, the truth shall prevail. It will open your eyes and speak to your heart that nothing compares living in a world of what is real from what is not.
How about dreams? Have you ever wondered why some of us still want to live in a dream world? Probably, this is because, dreams are somewhat illusions rooted from human desires, unrealistic approach of enchanting promises and hopes. As what we mostly heard, promises are made to be broken. Yet, it inspires us and gives us hope. And with that hope, even it is as tiny as a needle-point, it still gives you light amidst in the darkened room. With that light, you are motivated to look forward in the future in which whether you accept or not, are of no assurance. Thus, you are uncertain like saying words, "What and If?" what and if are two words that are non-threatening. However, when they're put together, it has the power to mess up your life's decision making. Likewise, dreaming too much puts you in a situation wherein a rope is being tied for your neck. The more to live in dreams, the tighter the rope will be until you'll let yourself hanged and stuck in the wonderland. Unable or difficulty of returning back let yourself drown in the sea of stillness. Until one day, you'll realize that you're all alone living in your dreamland.
Reality is not that harsh and boring. You just have to learn and accept things that will come into your life. You cannot hold things forever especially people who are unreal. Someday, we will all reach a crossroad and then part ways. All we can do is hope for the best. You know, happy endings do really come true for fairy tales and they do sometimes happen in real people. Yet, for a wise man, you must know the principle and ways of reality. Thus, if you dream big, then start making it real. Take risks. Grab all opportunity. Don't let time pass you by. Work and study hard. Earn good grades. And land a good job. You might think, it's easy to say but, it's difficult to follow. Yes, it's true. But don't worry; it's all part of learning and growing. . Indeed, if everything has two faces, make most of its better side. And if you are following your dreams realistically, you won't probably fall asleep because reality is better than your dreams.
