Deep Thought: Life I

Life. We know all the science behind it, how things live, how they die, etc, but do you know WHY they live? Do we really know what drives a person to keep breathing for each passing second? I can't speak on other people, but I can give you an insight into my life. My life is an easy one. I don't do too much to exert myself past my comfort zone, whether that's good or bad isn't up for discussion yet. The hardest part of my days are stopping myself from overthinking, thinking about thing that can't and maybe shouldn't happen.So what is it that drives me? I guess it'd have to be those thoughts that I constantly try to stop. They give me hope, hope that I will someday have something I can cherish. Visions of grandeur, of happiness beyond compare. I don't find myself thinking of material things too often, and if so only to help what else it is I'm wanting. Does that mean my life is based on a dream? Could my existence be based solely off of an abstract thought? Think about religion. In a nutshell it's a large group of people following a road to what...an abstract thought about the afterlife. Could it be that I live day to day hoping that maybe I'll hit a dream in my reality. Now don't get me wrong, what I dream about is very real, if not for me thatn somebody in the world, but I live thinking that I will get so close and just miss it. Is it wrong to chase dreams? Some people would question if it's sane to chase something that you constantly don't think you can get or achieve. Would it be crazy to think that you can will the impossible to fruition? Personally I can tell you that I'll never stop chasing my dreams. Correction. I will stop chasing, but only after I'm off this Earth and somewhere else, probably chasing another.
