Utopian
Then again, who's to say that certain types of irrational thinking aren't exactly what the world needs? Maybe you've had grand plans before but stopped yourself, thinking, "That's impossible," or, "That costs too much," or, "That won't benefit me." For better or worse, we kids aren't hampered as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things. Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking. Like my wish that no one went hungry or that everything were a free kind of utopia. How many of you still dream like that and believe in the possibilities? Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of Utopian ideals can be a burden because you know that if everything were free, then the food stocks would become depleted and scarce and lead to chaos. On the other hand, we kids still dream about perfection. And that's a good thing because in order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.
話說回來,誰能說我們這個(gè)世界不正是需要某些類型的非理性思維嗎?也許你以前有過宏大的計(jì)劃,但卻半途而廢,心想:這個(gè)不可能,或代價(jià)太高,或這對我不利。不管是好是壞,我們小孩子在思考不做某事的理由時(shí),不太受這些考量的影響。小孩可能會有滿腦子的奇思妙想和積極的想法,例如我希望沒有人挨餓或者所有東西都是免費(fèi)的,有點(diǎn)像烏托邦的理念。你們當(dāng)中有多少人還會有這樣的夢想并相信其可能性?有時(shí)候?qū)v史及對烏托邦的了解,可能是一種負(fù)擔(dān),因?yàn)槟阒兰偃缢袞|西都是免費(fèi)的,食物儲備會被清空,而缺失將會導(dǎo)致混亂。另一方面,我們小孩還對完美抱有希望。這是件好事,因?yàn)橐獙⑷魏问虑樽優(yōu)楝F(xiàn)實(shí),你首先得心懷夢想。
