Let us start from our childhood. As a child, we all had various dreams most of them were far away from reality because we did not care about reality, in the first place we are not even aware of reality.
I still remember the day when my teacher asked the class about our ambition where we all came up with random stuff that hardly any two of us had a similar one.
Our life was moving on with our dream being lived in imagination and hoping it would be a reality someday in the future.
As we get older we grow not only external but also mentally lest we should. Our mental growth is by our gained knowledge which takes us closer to the reality and this changes our thought process. Thus we transform into a new person and now we are no longer the child we were, along with all these changes our dream changes.
In our teens our hormone does its part, it leads us to dream as though the whole remaining part of our life would turn into bliss if we just get our beloved. Now we strive to accomplish that dream into reality.
Our life moves on in this pursuit of the dream.
But soon we would cross our teenage and finish our studies alongside to enter the real world and eventually find out that all our dreams about the beloved ones and the bliss life combo is just a fallacy, lucky ones would figure this out quickly while the remaining would take some time. This realization would again change our dreams by now we would have been grown-ups with much greater knowledge than before and higher exposure to reality.
Now, we are not the same person as we were in the teenage we would have again changed into another person with a change in our thought process.
In adulthood, our dream would be changing towards financial independence as by now we would have got too old to be a dependent. This is the time where most of us get into a vicious cycle of daily work just for the financial benefit which drags us far off from our dreams. Once entered into this vicious cycle we run along with it to fulfill our financial needs while the regret of not working towards our dreams worsening the situation. Many spend their entire lives in the vicious cycle failing to find a way to get to their dream and eventually succumbing to the cycle forsaking their dreams to fulfill their financial needs to end in desperation.
Our life moves on with the despaired hopes to pursue our dream.
After getting into the vicious cycle our dream does not change as we get stuck with the existing dream despaired of hope. We gain knowledge in the pursuit of our dreams when we get stuck with one dream our knowledge does not grow which makes us mentally dead.
Though we gain knowledge about the field in which we are working that knowledge is so narrow as it is only related to a particular field it's like a machine working every day and gaining knowledge to become a super machine.
Quest of knowledge should be driven by our dreams to enjoy the taste of acquisition not forced by needs to keep our blood pumping which makes us no different from the chicken growing its weight in poultry to make meat, instead of going through this that chicken might not have been to life.
If we escape the vicious cycle and followed our dreams either we would have fulfilled it someday to aspire for another bigger dream or failing in turning our dream into reality, still we would have gained knowledge and grown mentally to have another dream. As no person ever said "I have fulfilled all my dreams and do not have any more", everyone has a last wish.
Conclusion
In childhood, we were with a hope of turning our dream into reality.
In teenage, we were in the pursuit of our dreams.
In adulthood, getting into a vicious cycle shatters our dreams leaving us in despair. We need to break the vicious cycle to stay alive mentally.
The quest for knowledge is the identity of living where dreams are its fuel. Accomplishing a dream would lead to another, chasing them is cherishing life.
