Sweet Irresponsibility
(A reflection by Sal Godoij.)
Dear friend,
Few things excite us more than thinking or dreaming of the impossible.
Yes. In our thoughts and dreams, we can do anything beyond what we deem possible.
Indeed, dreams erase boundaries, and in dreams the impossible frees desire from consequence.
It puts us in a state of euphoria, which I call “Sweet Irresponsibility.”
True. Reality can never test whatever we dream of. We are free to dream whatever we want, and in this freedom lies the pleasure of imagining without confronting limits, consequences, or the demands of action.
Sometimes we do this: we intentionally dream of the impossible because it helps us escape an oppressive reality, but that dreaming doesn’t mean we lack the courage to confront it.
On the contrary, it’s dreaming of the impossible which demands courage.
So, feel free to dream, and dream wild!
Show how brave you are!
Enjoy the freedom dreaming gives!
Dare to be irresponsible!
Dream of the impossible!
Peace and love.
Sal
