As you grow up you develop a notion on what the world is about. It's a one sided perception which evolves about what you have been taught, and how you have digested information about the world. In this globe of upbringing, a person develops ideals or dreams. Usually they stem out of desire or necessity. For instance, a person might watch a television programme and find something alluring they wish they would be able to do. After recognising their desire, they then shoot the arrow and aim to practise the art or item of interest. This builds up talent, and can really make a person into a high achiever as long as they hold the dream in their mind of what it is they want to be. The necessity part of the social development, comes from the learning that you will have to work to survive. So a person develops a dream of being a certain type of grown up, and sticks to that ideal in order to help them develop into adults.

However dreams can often be disrupted or wrecked, sometimes before they are even in the first stages. This is because there is such things as payment. Yes, living a dreams, also means you have to pay for that dream. Dreams often don't come cheap either. The cost money, and lots of it. Who can stop the dream in its bud? Parents, when they refuse to pay for the dream.

A dream can also be wrecked by social circumstances. Just think of Vietnam, when there were heaps of people conscripted to go to war. This was a thing that disrupted hundreds of thousands of dreams, and it was something that could not be let go of. So many people died, not even being able to realize the dream inside of their mind. They might have been the world's finest dancer, or the world's best singer, or the world's most inventive designer/architect. However it would have dissolved into peanuts as soon as those army uniforms were strapped onto the body, and the orders 'March' were shouted into their ears. When war is on the rise, no one cared for anything but duty to their country - dreams were left far behind.

A person's jealousy can also stop a dream from evolving. This is because jealousy is a killer - sometimes a person has to make up a few nasty rumours, or gain the support for the most negative criticism ever that the dreamer would be embarrassed into silence or seclusion, or even stop the talent by wrecking the show, (ever seen a semi-professional ballet dancer dance without full point shoes? ever seen a flute player play without all segments of the flute attached in unite? No? Neither has anyone else) .

So dreams so fickle, can be squashed inside their jars and left to grow mould over their absolves. This is what makes up ninety percent of the whole worthless population who grate their teeth through hours of monotony, seven days per week. Their dreams have been snipped, and now they are just struggling to survive in a world who hates people who seem to have lost the umph for life's transgression.
