For What It’s Worth by Dr. Melfi , Ph.D.

Just to let you know, there are those who dream, and those who are based in reality, those who imagine all the possibilities, and those who see the world in black and white. I am the former, and this has caused me lifelong di culties attempting to adjust to a world of logic and reason. It may be easier to see what is actually going on in life, and deal with it, then to pretend and fantasize, that there will be a lottery win, that the good guys will always win, that everyone you meet cares for others, and that your best friend will not betray you. ose based in reality know the ropes. ey look upon others with skepticism, at least initially. ey do not fall for a sob story when a hired worker asks for money before the job is done. ey know the pitfalls of allowing themselves to believe in unconditional love or the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I sometimes wish I could be them, so that I would never have to be disappointed.

ey are good people, but they do not live in a fantasy world. e real world is lled with scam artists and im- am people, and they understand caution, of not believing everything they hear, of fact-checking before leaping into a “sure thing” when it comes to investments. ey know the world is a tough place, and gear their children’s educational future accordingly. ey are not wrong. But the rest of us, the collective dreamers, the John Lennon’s of the world, imagine how it could be, if everyone was nice to everyone else, if we all worked together, if we all got along. We dreamers buy lottery tickets and fantasize about the win, believing we hold the ticket to fortune, until our numbers don’t match. en we go out and try again. We are unable to think di erently, and we almost always irritate others with our positive outlook on all things big and small. In other words, we exhaust others with our imagination, until they either leave us, or at least, feel sorry for us.

For What it’s Worth, I’ve

tried it the other way, and it doesn’t work for me. I will continue to allow my children to nd their own paths, even if they lead nowhere, because among those who are in business, nance, and other reputable professions, there is still dance, and art and poetry, and for me, those are the block-builders of the beauty of life.

So, if your child wants to be a writer, or an artist, you can steer them to a di erent path, but the world would have lost what they had to o er. Sure, there is no money in dreaming, but then again, imagination can never be lost. ey will get up excited to go to their jobs, they will make the world a more beautiful place. Is it possible that perhaps the dreamers win, a er all?
