Simple question (hopefully) complex answer...

A tad vague a question there, Koi. Care to expand a little on your title, so that we might answer you more concisely?
I assume you're talking about which is the better idea; forgoing everything in life to chase your dream, or forgetting your dream in order to maintain a stable and safe life?
Personally, i'm oldfashioned and will quite naturally gravitate towards seeking a stable and safe life. Luckily, my dream, besides making a life for myself in Canadia rather than the UK, is to settle down, get married, have kids and live a pretty happy life. I don't want to be off exploring the world, finding new species' of animals, or even wish for it being me who discovers the cure for AIDS.
Just a happy family for Taily~
So, in a simple concise form, Taily goes for the stable life. I'd wager that it differs from personality to personality. A more outgoing person, I believe, will try and strike out in the world in order to get their dream come true, whereas those of us whom enjoy the solitude or don't like speaking out in front of crowds will prefer the more stable life, because it suits us.
If we were a little more outgoing, we could perhaps push for the dream. But we're not, so we deal with our cards.
That's sort of what i'm trying to say. I don't make sense after 48 hours of awakeness. :3

I'm going to have to say that the question's too complex; a true ideal is to balance the two. To pursue what you enjoy without letting your dreams rush your reality is a balance that is becoming more and more possible over time. To appreciate and enjoy your sexual fetishes without letting them ruin your relationships is. To blah blah blah philosophical stuff I don't want to get stuck in right now.
Really, though, it's... There's a certain point where you go beyond "opinionated discussion where there may be a best or correct answer even if we'll never really reach it" into "speculative philosophy where there is no true answer". This question is as innate an example of that as you can get.
Not that I don't want to see other's philosophies on this.

I do what I want regardless of the consequencecs so yeah I guess Im chasing my dreams one at a time.
I like the chatioc way it makes things.
Ya know as far as a phillosphy goes I'd say that living a chaotic life chasing my dreams is better then finding stabillity and wondering for the rest of your life if you could of gotten ahold of what you really wanted.

Well, I'm a very idealistic person. I don't think it depends on your level of outgoingness because I tend to enjoy the time there is no family in my house and just me. However, I will give up everything for a dream. I would do anything for love and all that jazz. I read a zodiac book and it said about me (which was very true), "You try and work for an ideal rather than for yourself." That's just how I am and whatever everyone else is like, well, whatever floats your boat.

I belive it greatly depends on the person, and the situation. I mean, as much as I would *like* to chase dreams, I know at the end of the day I would prefer to find stability.
I mean, I would LOVE to chase the dream of bumping uglies with my one friend online, but in reality? I have better chances with a hooker or something (or so in MY perception of reality).
Yet, I am chasing the dream of being a qualified clinical psychologist and attaining it more so than rather than finding stability in the fact that if I am not qualified, I won't be able to be a spoilt brat with a huge house, food in my belly, and bills being paid on time. My aspiration to help people is greater much to my family's disbelief.
It may be very different for others, but that's how I have my priorities in place. I think that's very important in determining whether somebody is chasing their dreams or finding stability, is through their personality and understanding their priorities and aspirations in life.
Simple question, somewhat complex answer 3nodding

@maddam fluff
A large part of my life is doing what I want although it gets me in trouble alot
But I only do what I want as long as it dosen't hurt anyone
I don't like causing people pain esspecially emoitonally because of all the pain Iv'e been through Iv'e made it one of my prioirty's to make sure I never cause someone else that same pain.
So I have an impossible dream that im always chasing
The dream of not causin anyone pain

Toto, you see, I see it if somebody is causing me pain, then I plan on ******** them in the a** with a spiky d***o. People are different, but essentially we are still the same. I see that my mother - who causes me a lot of distress in my life, one of the distresses being the ability to degrade my heart and soul over something that I find entirely normal but is "far" from "acceptable" according to her - deserving a just and equal punishment for my frustrations. That's one reason why I want to move to Canada - to make her regret ever pushing me away, especially after the message I will leave behind.
I have gotten into so much trouble because of her and my family, but I shut up and deal with it. Sure, I'm not hurting my family in anyway, but I hurt myself by allowing them to control me. Plato has spoken about everybody fighting greater battles than your own - simply because your own problems concern you the most, not to your immediate social circle. If it does affect them, it's to a lesser extent than it affects you. What I am saying is, that we as human beings are essentially selfish and that we do end up protecting our own interests. I find it difficult to understand why people try and be noble by "putting others first" when it is not always the case, especially in your mind which would put most people you are close with to fear.
