Everyone has dreams. But what's amazing about human beings is that everyone is capable of forgetting their dreams. It doesn't seem possible perhaps, but how else can you explain people who accept less in life than their dream job, their dream home, or their dream lover? In fact, the vast majority of people do so. It might seem like an ironic cruelty of life for fate to give us all such pretty dreams only to let them slip away. But it's not. In fact, life reminds us repeatedly not to abandon our dreams, and does everything it can to inspire us to remember and achieve them. It does this with beauty. Beauty is life's way of reminding us of what we've forgotten. For example, when you see a beautiful woman she reminds you that you want to be the kind of man she would like, the kind you would like to be. She reminds you of your dreams. So dream on! And don't forget how important beauty really is.
