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?
Have fun reading FaraKhan!!! And I would also like to hear your views on this..:))

ReplyDeleteWould definitely love to read.. fantasy is a spice and the reality if staple food. you spice up your living in reality by fantasizing... thats what me feels. you can't run away from reality. make it fun.. fantasize it, make it lovable and livable... fantasizing plays an important role in living in reality with zist, zeal and jest....
ReplyDeleteHope I am invading...
keep it up girl... will be back to read your next post
Thankyou so much khushi!
ReplyDeleteSuch an intriguing topic. Fantasy Vs. Reality. Although Practicality is essential to survive, yet I totally vouch for importance of fantasy too for without it the world will be too bland and insipid to live in. After all dreams are what give us courage and zeal to achieve our goals. Had Wright Brothers not fantasized about airplanes, air transport would probably still have been far from reality for us.
ReplyDeleteAlthough a fine discernment between fiction and reality is necessary, otherwise a majority will suffer from MPD, don't you think?
Awaiting your next post anxiously di!
Love,
In my opinion it is entirely correct to say that fantasy v/s reality. These words are like synonyms of each other, where the meaning are same but how you perceive it to be, matters and differs from an individual to another. There are few who like to take refuge in there fantasies or find solitude imagining it. building castles of their own desires,knowing at the back of their subconsciousness that these fantasies are living on the mercy of your alarm clock. The moment it rings and there goes all your fantasies and dreams. These people would wait for the night to fall so they can rebuild their castles or in extreme cases people might dream with open eyes.
ReplyDeletethen there are those who get triggered by such fantasies. They build castles too in dreams like an artist works in studio to prepare a skeleton, a draft and then comes the sculpture, a piece of imagination to reality for the world to witness. These are those individuals who dream for motivation and inspiration, too evolve.
Another few are those who are bored , uncomfortable and are retaliating the reality of life. They are not happy with the environment and society they live in. They imagine how would they prefer it. Like if i ask you "how would you run things if you were the president of your country?". What would you do? You will imagine/fantasize.and perhaps find a way to implement it in real time. That's when reality leads to fantasy and back to reality. As if they coexist because one is incomplete without the other.
