Why we can't be Let to Be
we all dream of doing crazy things. some of us go and do these crazy things. some of us keep them in their dream-like states. now what differentiates dreamers from dream-doers is what makes the difference.
see. the dreamers come up with stuff that the non-dreamers call, very often, 'crazy'. now this might seem crazy only to the non-dreamer who has no clue of the dreamers' original dream. for instance, galileo was put behind bars for blasphemy. the non-dreamers used religion as an excuse to prosecute the innocent. our world is full of such troubles. this galileo thing couldnt possibly have been the last time someone's been in trouble for his/her insight. edison? same scene. einstein? same scene. poor, poor, poor buggers.
the non-dreamers? they're good people too. their only problem is probably narrow-mindedness. these fellas cant see the dream. because society wants the people to conform. conformity kills dreams.
when will we learn to shun society? will we ever?

very cool design.
kind of makes it hard to read though.
that having been said, yes conformity kills dreams but dreams are personal things. not stuff people go mouthing off about. you didn't see ol galle or eddie or stein go yakking about stuff the moment they thought of them. they took their time, cultivated it, perfected it and most importantly, believed it. that's the difference.
but yes, point noted on the non-dreamers, but who are these people? last time i checked everyone had dreams of their own. so if you actually look at it a little harder it's in fact the dreamers that are narrowminded and arrogant, for the simple fact that they believe there are non-dreamers about.
somebody pull the damn stick out!
yo oc,
bout dreamers: dont you think there could be some dreamers that have dreamt their dreams for so long that they've perfected them? like what about inherent perfectionists that have been forced into conformity? even by a small, cole-knit society of conformists? what if...?
about arrogance: yea- i think its both subjective and relative. the dreamers find the non-dreamers arrogant and vice-versa. conformism tends to lead to such arrogance, doesn't it?
