Someone once said, “You’ve no money, yet you wanna live like X Men. You gotta be kidding.”
Dreams, we all have dreams. Some people dream all their life. Some gave up their dreams. Others just woke up and saw the world as it is. Yes, you can be happy and contented with what you have. Yes, the religious text talks about being at peace and leading a simple life. However, the world or rather the society today has it’s own rules too. Without wealth, without looks, without power, you are shit. When you are shit, you deserve shit. It’s like the geek saying where are all the hot girls. It is a materialistic world out there. When you have nothing and are dreaming, don’t wonder why you don’t get certain stuff. Don’t complain why you can’t get the Victoria’s Secret Models. People tend to judge things at their face value.
“When you’re nothing, don’t post anything on your profile. Posting some fanciful story doesn’t change the fact you are nothing. The day when you can have a profile, is the day when you are so good in a certain field that you can claim ownership for that skill.”
I’m not saying to wallow in self-pity and get depressed. Yes, you know you are shit. So what are you gonna do next. We can’t change our past, but we can change our future. You need not give up your dreams, but you gotta be realistic. Not everyone is born to be an Olympic gold medalist, or the next Rock Star, or the next President. Accept your fate and do what you can with it. Plus dreams are a very dynamic concept. It is always changing.
X Men are X Men because they have money. Batman is Batman because Bruce Wayne has money. Ironman is Ironman because Tony Starks has money. Stop dreaming, be realistic. But don’t be average and become just like any other guy on the streets.
