A hoped for outcome is not a fact (#1622)

I always leave myself open to new ideas and the promise they may bring about. However I do not place them in a higher priority than fact. Fact is real and is what it is. As much as I would like to believe something could be great for all of us, I know that me thinking it would be great is not enough to make it a fact. There are so many of us who live in an illusion of how we would like things to be instead of the reality of actually how things are. Hoping and wishing are powerful forces we use to motivate ourselves and to give us reason to imagine a brighter future, but again, hoping and wishing are not facts. Ifs, ands or buts are nice in theory however reality is where we live. accepting reality on realty's terms is logical and a necessary foundation for us to begin from. I want the special and fantastical in life to reveal itself as much as anyone but not at the expense of suspending reality in order to create a special or fantastical illusion. Most of us live with some form of fear and to allay that fear we devise some form of idea or concept that for the most part diminishes that fear. However, fear is a part of our lives since we live in an uncertain existence in which we cannot wholly explain through fact. So we make our way through life as best we can when facing our fears is not within our understanding. It is part of life to be afraid. No one is immune to being afraid except those who are incapable of other emotions as well. So accepting that we don't know and allowing ourselves to move forward into time and space with an adventurers heart is a most human-like quality.
