Hello Anonymous, 

thanks for your feedback!

You are certainly correct about 

not all dreamers 

achieve nothing. 

I love dreamers 

because they think big. 

In fact,

I enjoy dreaming

because it inspires me

to do new things.

The purpose of the post is 

not to demean dreamers 

and 

good intentions

but 

to remind ourselves 

dreaming and having good intentions are 

not enough 

if we want to 

make things happen.

Dreamers inspire

but

how long could they

inspire others

if they only dream

and

never seem to

live out

their dreams?

Being there for a friend, 

is 

an action. 

It is

a physical act

that began with a thought of care 

and a good intention of being there. 

There is no denying that

actions 

are products of 

thoughts and good intentions. 

Thinking

only becomes 

an action 

when something is done

to carry that caring thought and good intention out.

Otherwise, 

the care that's due is 

stuck in the mental state 

where the particular friend in need 

cannot receive!

A thought of love, a dream or a good intention 

birthed in one's mind

is like 

the fertilization of a

sperm in an egg -

the first stage of pregnancy.

Developing to the second stage,

conception takes place.

Our thoughts could develop

into concepts and plans

that are critical towards achieving our dreams.

Overtime, 

the dreams grows inside 

but

they have not become reality

yet.

Without good care,

it could easily be deformed and 

eventually die. 

However, 

if it is nurtured through time and care, the thought, dream and good intention,

when the right time has come,

exits from the 

invisible to the visible. 

If its delivery

is overdue,

the baby, 

the dream,

is at a dangerous state of dying.

We could think and intend many things.

But when we cross the

due date of

translating 

our thoughts and intentions 

into

actions,

everything is aborted.

The world

cannot see 

our intentions and thoughts.

They need us to

express

them

in order to

receive the benefits

of our

good thoughts

and

good intentions.

Fertilisation is the first step 

to form a child and 

so is a thought to form an act of love. 

Definitely, thoughts are important but thoughts alone is nothing. 

Fertilisation alone is just the beginning!

Giving is precisely a natural thing to do when you love someone

but sadly in this

imperfect world

where 

imperfect people

grow up in

imperfect environment,

giving is not a

natural thing

to everybody.

The post I've written 

does not challenge this truth at all 

but

it challenges our belief of loving someone. 

The reminder is necessary 

because 

what we belief 

may not be true 

at all. 

Sometimes, 

we think we love someone,

we could even strongly believe we do, 

we could talk about it, 

yet not give

to the person. 

With a mind of our own,
people own different definitions of 
love.
To some,
to love may not mean
to give
because
to them,
love is just a
feeling
and
feeling it
is enough.
That is why there are
people who break their marriages
simply because
they don't feel anything anymore.


But truth is,
that isn't love
and

not everyone

knows

or
if one knows,

not everyone

lives it out.

If everyone is as clear as you 

that love means giving, 

there wouldn't be any broken relationships 

and 

hurts in this world.

Truth is,
not everyone knows
what you know


and
what's natural to you
is not natural
for everyone else.

We may know

how to love,

but 

we may not
live it out
by

giving;

at least,

not

everybody.

Also,

not everyone

knows

how to love.

I may think

I know,

but whether I really do

is another matter.

How do we know then?

We simply need

to

be taught

the

truth about love

and 

owing to

our humanly weakness of forgetfulness,

be reminded

how to love.
