    If you can start the day without caffeine,
    if you can get along without pep pills,
    if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
    if you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
    If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
    if you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
    if you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, though no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
    If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
    if you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him/her,
    if you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
    If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
    if you can conquer tension without medical help,
    if you can relax without liquor,
    if you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
    If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, gender preference, or politics,

    THEN, you have ALMOST reached the same level of development as your dog.

    To think about the future is to despair,
    To live in awe of the past is to live there,
    To live day to day is to be short-sighted,
    So We Die.

    And with death comes the question 'what is the meaning of life', surely the meaning of life is that question, should we ever find the answer then what would we do, we would of found the meaning, the reason, there would be nothing left to accomplish, and so we would die, in life.

    People seek for a fair world, comlain that 'who said life was fair', well if the world was fair then to live would cease to be of value, because what would we do, go to work, in acomfortable office, but it is only comfortable in comparison of others, in a fair world then they would be all the same, and we could not get paid more, and so would there be a point to promotion, no all u get is more stress, but thats not fair, u get promoted, and someone would be left out, and so there is nothing to gain in doing anything, and so the world shuts down and so we cease to enjoy, to have fun, to live. So be thankful that the world is truly unfair, and that there are always people worse of.!

    There is a time for everything,
    a season for every activity under heaven.
    A time to be born and a time to die.
    A time to plant and a time to harvest.
    A time to kill and a time to heal.
    A time to tear down and a time to rebuild.
    A time to cry and a time to laugh.
    A time to grieve and a time to dance.
    A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.
    A time to embrace and a time to turn away.
    A time to search and a time to lose.
    time to keep and a time to throw away.
    time to tear and a time to mend.
    A time to be quiet and a time to speak up.
    A time to love and a time to hate.
    A time for war and a time for peace.

    Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
    (also sung by the Byrds in the '60's or '70's)

    Lokken, yes that is true, but what happens if you want to keep dreaming because we can't get it in real life? I mean I want to have my own computer, renivate my room...I can't do those things...geez.

    Depends, if there is possibility to make the dream happen, you probably have to make an effort, it's not like coming by itself like most stuff in a dream do.

    With waking up. I ment take action to get what you dreamt about or leave it as you could use your time on something more worthwhile - dont let a dream stand in your path to get something different, whatever that might be

    and I'm NOT saying you shouldn't have dreams, I'm just saying that it shouldn't pursue you the rest of your life

    [EDIT]
    Instead of deleting the post, I'll just let it be. I might be saying the same stuff again but here goes.

    Sometimes, there's something you want so badly but can't have, and sometimes, it's better to realize that you can't get it and move on.

    hope that made more sense

    Dreams only become detrimental when you can't differentiate them from Reality.
