The ‘American Dream’ was always a trap and a dangled carrot. The rich never had to dream to get what they wanted and never sacrificed to keep it, while the poor followed the carrot (underpaid job) to get something akin to a dream (house or education), that they really could not afford, and because of that dream, that they never really own; they sacrifice the rest of their ‘dreams’ (music, art, travel, education, family) in order to keep it, all the while being in debt until they die. What a dream.. or a nightmare. I’m glad more people are reimagining what our purpose is and how to attain it. Disconnect and turn away from all man made delusions.. politics, religion and societal pressures to conform.
