Dreams often do not materialize.
In fact most don't. Indeed, many have come here with a dream only to learn the frustration of dealing with an inordinately difficult bureaucracy, a different culture with different beliefs and values, and to have that dream vanish leaving a bitter taste. But dreams or having a vision are vital to a person’s wellbeing. When one fails to imagine, fails to visualize or dream, then that poor soul has been broken and will suffer in unhappiness.
Having purchased one of those multi-lingual
Bibles from El Viejo at the HDR (not), I thumbed over to Proverbs (
proverb meaning a general truth or fundamental principle) where it says, “without vision a people perish.†Doesn’t matter if you are a believer or not. It is an historical maxim. I don't look at this a religious, it represents the wisdom of the ages: principles that transcend time and civilizations. It is true for a collective (group of people) and true for individuals.
You got to have vision or you perish; you die and remain a mass of gelatinous goo until the heart stops beating and … well, you turn into worm food.
