The abstract thoughts of a Cynical Dreamer

Dreams are the desires we've been told to suspend in the name of pragmatism. Yet, the most life-changing achievements are the ones we envision with our eyes closed and our minds open. Sometimes it's about obedience, and others about survival, when people discourage and contempt the dreamers.

Are we less obedient when we have the liberty to dream a future version of ourselves? In a world filled with cynicism, hasn't dreaming become an act of audacity? Are pragmatists, the bold expressionists of life or just a part of a pre-set convention?
When we dare to dream, we set in motion a journey toward extraordinary accomplishments. Dreams are the ultimate renewable source of human inspiration. If the dilemma is 'dream or die', I could wear my pragmatistic cape and make my dreams come true. Because when you're out of moves in the game of life, either you stop playing or you change the game board.
Personally, I would prefer living to chase a dream than surviving to keep up with reality. It is necessary to fly once in a while before getting your feet back to the ground. That’s how humankind has evolved; that’s how your life can change.
Good night to all.
