Common

Rating: 5.0


(dedicated to Koyel Mitra)

Dreams are achievable
Only if they conform
To the realms of possibility

People love predictability
No one is going to be very happy
If you’re constantly changing your mind

(inspired by Kitaro’s Nageki)

We need to dream and try living that dream; otherwise, how can we know what is possible. One man's dream is only a dream. Another person's dream is a life lived and feats acheived beyond one's dream.

one of my favorite quotes, which was stirred up by your poem, is 'dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die tomorrow.' i cannot remember who said it.

One should not day dream and build castles on the air.
