Читать книгу Triumph Of Love Over Ego - Saeed Habibzadeh - Страница 24

This is another one of those misconceptions that constantly lead us astray.

In both those cases we would miss out on our authentic life, whether we dream of a wonderful life or try to turn our dreams into reality, the reason being that our dreams usually originate in our mind. As our mind is subject to media manipulation and the influence of collective opinion, our dreams tend to follow general trends. Therefore our dreams rarely come straight from our heart, but have been predefined by social convention. This is also the reason why we want things we really do not need. Fulfilling these (false) dreams makes us even more miserable. As long as the dreams remain unfulfilled, we still have the hope that their fulfilment would make us happy. But when these dreams have really come true, we realize that we have actually exchanged our life for some meaningless advertising campaign. We have put our trust in dreams for sale, in happiness for sale.

If you do not wish to miss your own life, you should not spend it in worlds of make-belief and you should not allow externally controlled dreams and wishes into your life. Smart people do not obtain their dreams from television programmes, movies and magazines, but from their own hearts. They live authentically and do not waste their time on useless dreams.

There is no dream better than real life! If you have trust in yourself and in God, you do not need dreams to be happy!
