Unrealistic dreams
It is absolutely true that unrealistic dreams always lead to unhappiness; we must learn to maintain a healthy balance between fantasies and reality. Slightest imbalance can cause trouble in our life. Too much dreaming will be equal to ‘BUILDING CASTLES IN THE AIR’; and living in sheer reality will make our life mundane and monotonous. Fantasies are to motivate us and inspire us; they are to push us on to become better! However, it is the science of action that is going to make us really achieve what we want to achieve.
Sophie’s hero worship and fantasizing were in clash with her socio-economic background. She belonged to a family of meager means and resources. However, her dreaming and fantasizing were quite extreme. She could not afford to day dream and be lost in her reveries. In order to make her dreams become realities, she needed to work very hard, which she did not do. Not only she suffered from excessive day-dreaming, she was prone to telling lies too. She was not justified. As a consequence, no body trusted her. Her father, Geoff, and Jansie, her friend wanted her to behave more sensibly.
