Reality and Dreams

Why does reality always differ so much from our dreams? is it because dreams are just what we wish things to be, and thus is not possible for them to happen? or is it because dreams are just lazy thoughts that we wish for it to happen to us? just like people say dreams are beautiful while reality is harsh... none of us want things to turn out bad for themselves, no one wants to be unhappy, so maybe thats why dreams exist... maybe its just something we can fall back on should reality be too much for us to handle... somewhere for us to hide and recover from our setbacks... how often does our dreams really come true?

the world in which our dreams lie, is so much different from the world in which reality resides in, dont u think so? i dont think the world that we so much wants to see, wants to live in, wants to be in, has wars raging on in parts of the globe, has poverty, has loved ones taken away just in the blink of an eye... there is so much more that we dream of having, but its just the opposite of whats happening in reality...

take love for an example, who in the world doesnt dream of finding the one they really love, hoping that the latter also feels the same way they feel towards him/her... how many wouldnt dream of spending the rest of their lives happily and blissfully with the ones they love... but in reality, how many couples are able to withstand the obstacles thrown at them along their journey together? how many people are able to say that she/he is the one that they want to spend the rest of their lives with... who would want to fall in love someone thinking that they were meant to be, only to separate after time when feelings start to fade and the love starts to become bland...

another example would be money... in most of our dreams, we wished that we were rich... so that we didnt have to worry about having a low standard of living, being able to buy what we need and being able to support our extravagant lifestyle, seeing that in this society now, money is almost everything... without money, u cant afford anything... u wont be able to support yourself not to say a family, u wont be able to live the luxurious life that everyone is craving for and in the end, u will end up with nothing, without love and without a purpose... but look at reality, how many poor people we have in this world... how many beggars can we see on the streets as we walk down each day, and of the beggars, how many of them are kids?

so u see, there's so much difference between reality and dreams... how can we differentiate which is reality and dreams... will our dreams come true one day? or will dreams remain forever as just...... dreams?
