4A Waterloo - 2006 June - Dream Chasing
What is the point of knowing what you want, if you don't have the power to grant them?
...Now eventually you can amass the power you need to achieve your dream, but here's a thought:
Wouldn't it be better to have the power to grant wishes before hand, so that when you do know what you want, you don't have to race against time towards the finish line?
But then I ask:
What is the point of having the power to grant wishes, when you don't even know what you want?
Some people dedicate their whole life to give themselves the power to grant their desires, but it seems that there is an infinite amount of power and desires to gain for any individual to obtain at any one point in their life. So what exactly are these people trying to accomplish?
Consider these people who dedicated their life to thinking that they can attain the power to grant their wishes. Now what happens when they realize that they have gotten everything they could, BUT they missed one thing in their chase, prohibiting them from grasping the very dream they had worked so hard to obtain.
To the world they are successful because with all the powers they have gained, they have the means to achieve many dreams others wish for; but in the minds of these people, wouldn't they have failed in the most miserable way possible? A fool who tried to chase after a dream, only to realize that when the moment comes, they don't have what it takes to obtain the grail. All the time spent amassing this wealth in other's eyes, but they can't even trade it all that for the only thing they wanted...
Perhaps this is just the result of poor planning, being unable to fully see their dream when they first begun their pursuit. But in this world where dreams are influenced and moved by the collective fates of the masses, even those who choose to carve their destinies are subject to this chaos.
So I ask again, what is the point of having the power to grant wishes, when you don't even know what you want? ...But then again, how confident are we to think that we can always win in a race against time?

The next question would be: what is time?
We are all chasing after time somehow:
-trying to be on time for work, meetings, and school
-meeting deadlines for assignments, projects, and work
-running against time to catch the bus
However, we seldom pause and ask what time really is? How long is a second, a minute, an hour, a week, and a year? Time is one of the many things that created by human. Does one second really last for a second? An hour lasts for an hour? Time can be relevant to what we do and how we feel sometimes. One second can feel like a year, and one year can also fly by like a second. No one should race against time, especially someone who has a dream. Take your time cuz you got all the time that you want….
