The Evolution of Life Part IV-Reality Knocks
So we have gone through “Learning to Dream“, the “Many Worlds of Imagination“, and “Practical Dreams“. Throughout all of these stages we learn different components of the adults we are going to be. Sure there are a lot of other factors, such as our environment, our parents influence, and so on and so forth. But at the root we are what we learn, and that process takes a lifetime.
By the time we hit the end of our college years, and are faced with the reality of going out into a world where we are the grown up, many of those dreams, and imagined futures seem to fade away like sand blows across the beach. Reality begins to knock, and we have to answer the door.
Suddenly new things take hold like, rent, and bills, and paychecks, and work responsibilities. We suddenly can’t just sty in and chill. We don’t mind though this is what we have prepared for our whole lives.
So we settle in a dive into the job of our dreams, or at leas the job we get, that may someday lead to the job of our dreams. We get our dream car, rather a car that runs, and get our first apartment with a bunch of cool stuff. Well maybe a chair and a futon.
So what are we doing wrong? I mean you watch TV and they all have those things so what is it we are doing that isn’t right? Nothing really. We are sold this in order to help us move, and buy, and become a nation of debt. We try to ignore the knock of reality.
Then we continue our journey, get married, have kids and then start the painful process matching dreams to reality.
