To achieve nothing or a shadow of a substitute of the goal? I wish a house with a swimming pool, and I come from a lower class, do you really think it is achievable for someone earning lower than mediocre salary?
How big a house? And how big a pool? I know you said it’s just an example, but just thinking you have to save up and buy a pool on a meager salary then yeah, probably impossible. But a modest house near a lake? Now the whole lake could be your “pool”. Or what someone else said maybe a public pool close by.
I agree that some things are just “not in the cards” for most people. But if you change your perspective maybe you can have the things your after in a different capacity. Or else you can resign yourself to a depressing existence with the only thing you ever look forward to is the end of it.
Why do you wish to live with such a high footprint? Why not a modest apartment and a public swimming pool nearby? (Still unachievable for many, sadly, but much more realistic for anyone except the super wealthy.)
Not trying to bash on you, I really want to understand where you’re coming from.
This is my hypothetical wish for the sake of argument – an example of a common dream which is plainly unrealistic. Personally I do not have such consumerist whims.
Loserspeak, you can acknowledge your limitations and still act towards your goals
