Dreams Come True... NOT

This week had not been too good a week for me. An event today finally unleahes my long hidden thought on one of the aspects of life: dreams.

Like many others, regarding of age, gender, or nationality, I had enjoy Disney's movies. In fact I still do enjoy them. They make me believe that dreams do come true, and that everything would end "happily ever after" sooner or later. However it that really the case in real life?

Reality is cruel. The jokes in life can affect one's life greatly. In order to survive in this typical reality, humans are forced to do evil things, making life more difficult. Sometimes people went too far to achieve their goals, thus hurting others, either consciously or unknowingly.

Having taken "Mathematics Behind Gambling" module before, althought I had not passed the module with flying colors, it had given me a rough idea of the chances of winning. Cross-refering to life examples, I learnt that behind those glorious winnings displayed through the media, are thousands of losts and disappointment. Only one out of those millions who bet would win.

Those Hollywood movies that show how miracles happen to people, had concealed the fact that miracles do not happen to most people, or it would not be called a miracle anymore.

Applying the same principles to life, "dreams coming true" is very much like a lottery, or a miracle. As one dream may contradict with another, life could not possibly satisfy every dream. That is also the reason why dream-becoming-reality is much envied, it is because it is so rare.
