I am more and more confused by people that forsake their dreams for “practicality.” The worship that parents and grandparents give to this concept is a tragedy and, I think, probably a source of great misery. This whole thing is going to flash by in an instant, why should we forsake our dreams for a median income, why should we fear failure to such an extent that we don’t even attempt to achieve our values, why should we live partial lives—part ours, part society’s? The source of this disaster (like most man-made catastrophes in history) is probably the bizarreness of human group behavior. Practicality=social approval and little else.
