Dreams

Elan's blog is more like a show review site. I probably can sit down and analyse a show critically like her but I am not so enthusiastic.

There are many shows in which the human spirit of dreaming, the building of dreams, the living of dreams are demonstrated. "Good Luck!" (Japanese drama) was one such show. The passion which Shinkai Hajime (Takuya Kimura) had for flying was so great that he'd difficulty convincing himself to give up that dream when he injured his legs, and later putting himself to great risk by going through the operation. Had the operation failed, he wouldn't be able to walk again. I was able to feel that agony, that sorrow, that love he had for flying. That show was a true portrayal of dreaming.

We all have our dreams. You may harbour them for 2, 3, 5 years but until you build foundations for your dreams, they'll always remain as what they are: dreams. There's a part of dreaming that shouldn't be neglected. With dreams come wishing. While working towards your dream, you'll also wish that one day, this dream will come to fruition. Nothing is worse than dreaming a lost or broken dream. To hold on to a dream and then ultimately realise that the dream can never materialise is one of the most cruel things that Nature can make Man go through. To go through the process of building a dream, living a dream, hoping, wondering-to finally end in despair! How cruel the irony! Why torture oneself by having a glimpse of what can never be?
