A dream unfulfilled is but a curse

Funny how I get inspirations, from an old TV show... and this show is none other than Kamen Rider 555! Who says kids show aren't educational? Well, it isn't really much of a kids show with all the killing scenes.

This story happens to go like this: a born musical genius which got his hands crippled in an accident and could no longer play the guitar. He vents his frustration by being a rebel and doing things to disturb those who plays music.

When he finally came to his senses, he spoke of these words... "a dream unfulfilled is like a curse". So much is true, knowing that the thing you love to do and long for could no longer be achieved. Having to give up unwillingly is painful and forever haunting... wanting something that cannot be done is a painful burden that one can bear in life.

Of course, he finally let go of his unfulfilled dream and moved on but its rather sad anyhow. So the question was, should we even had a dream? Quite philosophical don't you think so? How great are kids show these days... I find it quite intriguing and made me ponder for a while... Indeed, true enough of what was said if you've been through it before...

We grow up in such circumstances, making us stronger... yet it makes us much more difficult to be pleased and believing as well. While you or I complaint about how difficult life can be... is it really that tough? We are the ones that complicate things around us.

You hear that remarks such as... "grow up" or even "you're not a kid anymore" or "that's reality". We toughen up, we learn to be wiser, learn to be... suspicious? why? coz people become more and more deceitful. Have we all forgotten the old times? our younger days? where words meant gold and promises are promises? Grow up you say? isn't that what we stride for?

Funny again on how we see things... and say its impossible yet we forgotten that it happened once upon a time when life was much simpler. If we can all reach for the child within us... I'm not being a kid or haven't grown up... That, my friend is how life would & could be if we are more honest beings in life. Its because the world is harsh, that we need hope... but because everyone "learns" that everyone is mean to everybody.

So yes... it indeed is painful having bad memories, even good ones... because once you lose your dreams... it will haunt you forever. If you ever are one of them, be strong and build your new dream. If you've never encountered a broken dream, I pray you never will... its not easy...
