Depending on what you've lived through, what that snippet derides might not sound too bad. I mean, for those from war torn places, immigrants who worked hard, a secure job to take care of your family and see your children grow up isn't a bad dream at all. We simply have the luxury of making that our baseline.
If anything, my take-away is to recognize that those things aren't bad in it of themselves, but just don't mistake the dreams of others for your own.

- tdavis 17y agoRight, so I wasn't saying that having a "normal job" is objectively bad, merely that in certain circumstances people have a tendency to "settle" for their lives and mistake rationalized contentment for happiness. I used it as an example since it's something many people in this particular country (U.S.) can relate to -- or could, if they took the time to look at their lives.
