Statement
It
is a common regret to all of us, that, as we age, we tend to lose our
maximalism and forfeit our most cherished dreams. Realizing that our dreams
were never achievable anyway, we often succumb to the grind of daily life,
throwing out creativity for the common good. A personal tragedy for the
individual, the decay of idealism is just as crippling to the progress of
social dreams. Upon seeing the corruption of the social dream- the corruption
inevitable upon attempt to practically implement any ideology- there are those
who have given themselves over to wallowing in excessive disillusionment, self-righteousness
and victimization, and perpetual complaining about everything. They simply
killed the dream, leaving themselves and others with only bleak reality. There
is no more higher cause; no more collective. This piece is a lament for lost
inspirations for positive building of self and community.
