The Story Of Chasing Fireflies
Phantasiae… sounds so much like a mystical word, but it something that we all have at times. We all have beliefs that swear to everything good under the sun are true, despite the fact that there is superior evidence to say otherwise. But so many times have others been told they have phantasiae. when really their facts are correct. People carry in their hearts hopes and dreams of a better life in the forefront of their minds, only for people to tell them it will never work, never happen, or never exist. In today's world dreams are a hobby, not a lifestyle. What happened to the generation of believers? What happened to the hearts who did more than just say they could, but actually did it? Chasing fireflies has been our story, but never has it
been our theme. Night comes and our hears yearn, but we push them aside and follow the mind of which our society tells us is more reliable. Yes, I know, logic is important, for without it some of the greatest leaders would have never saved as many people as they did. But there's something that we keep missing, something that we don't see. In the age of science we are taught about the science behind the emotion, but never the emotion behind the science. Why do we believe what we do? Why do we run from emotion and cling to logic as if it were our only friend? The answer to this cannot be found with logic, for logic requires thinking, argumentation, and facts. To figure out the emotion behind the science, you cannot reason with logic, you do the one thing society tells you not to: reason with emotion. In order to understand completely why people feel the way they do, why they have phantasiae, you have to dig deep into the thoughts and minds of you and others feel what they are thinking. Not know what they are thinking, feel what they are thinking. That's why I'm starting this challenge, to see if I can really dig deep into what others say about it, but what they feel about it. To understand why they think the way they do. Our emotions in our reasonings are not to be ignored; they are to be put in the same place as logic. Their importance is just as prevalent. So, here begins the search into not only others phantasiae, but also my own. Let's take a look into world events, fiction, our daily lives, and even glimpsing into the lives of others, to see where they find themselves in the world, and why they find themselves there. So, welcome readers. Welcome into the world where people on the outside borders say is full of people who won't last long. People who walk amongst the clouds instead of the hard cold ground. Welcome to what people say is the world of Phantasiae, Latin for delusions.
