How often do we come across people telling us about a dream world that we are living in and we need to get out and wake up to reality. The only instance when I need to follow his advice is when my presence in his/her afro mentioned reality clears a debt if I owe him one. But apart from this why should he/she be bothered one least bit. However the real question is what makes him/her such a good scholar regarding what is real or not. Is his/her perception of reality the universally accepted notion of reality?
For starters he/she might be serious about academics. Well every science, arts or any other skill did not just drop dead from the sky; it was an idea in the head of someone who hence were dreamers in some point of time. Maybe he/she is strictly oriented towards his/her career but well every huge company has an inception and no matter how wealthy the investor might have been, it takes great deal of thinking to start a good company which is why it still exists today. Hence another dreamer. Every bit of modern lifestyle luxury we own today as a fact of great individual accomplishment be it a car, air conditioner, designer clothes, furnished bathrooms, sun glasses, big fat marriage and etc are all small fragments of dreams integrated into a huge fabric we all now made our basis of reality. So what reality is it that they are trying to tell us about? If I was not to dream it would simply be labour food, sleep repeat.
And it is all relevant in the real world too. In a room comprising of men and women of different nationalities the lifestyle of an American would seem downright eutopian to someone from Somlia. The lifestyle of a Columbian Woman would seem crazy and psychedelic to an Arabian. The only reality that ISIS people know is that of the JANNAT and JEHENNUM and the rest of the real world is nothing but a dream and joke to them. And the list goes on and on. So how come it is not a possibility that even if in a small level of diversity you and I do not have different notions of reality, and as long as it does not hurt you emotionally or physically give me a reason why am I not entitled to live it?
