Right or Wrong?


Every person has a reason for his existence. What if he/she can’t find the reason for his/her existence? What if he/she cannot find the right reason to live? Is waiting for that one day when everything will be fine is enough for a person to keep living his/her life?
If that is so, then why Almighty did gave us the power to dream? Why thinking and dreaming is a major element of our survival? Can we really just rely on our fate and let things be the way they are? Then, perhaps fantasizing is my fate. Probably, I’m searching my solace in my fantasies.
According to many therapists and science, fantasies are not frivolous. They can be arousing, distracting, scaring, and even entertaining, but they also allow for space for creativity and helps in planning one’s future. But still there is a slight difference between fantasies and realities, which we call hallucinating and/or schizophrenia. Rather, the fantasies provide a sweet and pleasant escape from the horrible things that exist in realities.
Isn’t that the reason why people write fictions? Remember all the fairy tales that we used to read in our childhood? Haven’t the girls dreamt of growing their hair long after reading Rupanzel? Or the boys haven’t imagined themselves as the Ninja Turtles or Sumarai Sam? Or if we step of fictions, what about the TV commercials and advertisements that we watch every day? If I’m using an XYZ fairness cream, I’m gonna find a handsome hunk. Or if I drink ABC beverage, I’ll become adventurous and overcome fears. If I use a certain deodorant/perfume, I’ll become the life of party.
If practicality and reality is important, then why are we still living in fantasies? Why are people playing with our emotions through such books and commercials?  We let our children watch cartoons, but aren’t we pushing them towards fantasies ourselves? And then when they grow up, we tell them this is not real. This doesn’t happen in reality. You are living far from real world. 

We live in our fantasies and endure our realities. I’m a fantasy lover. Right or wrong I can hardly tell, but I know I’m on the wrong side of heavens and on the righteous side of hell.

Scenarios of Fantasies...

Realities are harsh, fantasies are amazing. We know the brutality of reality while we still prefer to live in our fantasies. Why? Ain't the realities hitting on us the right way? Or are we too indifferent to them? Is dreaming a crime? Or being too much practical has won the battle? What is the answer to all these questions? Only a person who wishes to live in his/her dreamland and aims to fulfill their dreams can understand and find the answers to all these questions.
Just looking inside us and asking sincerely will do the major job. Imagination is creativity and only the creative and strong people can manage to imagine fantasy while still live in real world. For me, living in fantasies is not a crime. I'm a 23 year old mature girl. I know the true faces of people, and this world and yet I live in fantasies. A friend of mine who is same age as of mine, prefers to be practical and think in a very logical and straight forward way. While I, on the other hand, have imagined myself in different situation, different myself, how I wanted certain things to be, and if they are according to how I want them to be, then how am I going to deal with them. Switching personalities, places, clothes, and even the social circle are part of my fantasies. Thinking about the handsome hunks of television is fantasy, imagining myself with them, doing whatever they are doing, travelling the world with them, imagining myself to be the protagonist of some cliche novels. But I still ask this one question to myself repeatedly; am I going insane? Is it craziness to fantasize things? Is it a crime to dream? Or living in reality and being practical is always the right choice?
Maybe one day we'll find the place where our dreams and reality collide.
I ask all the people reading (if) this blog to share their views about this argument. Whether or not should we live in fantasies?
