You never hear anyone talk about the French Dream (which sounds like something dirty) or the Sudanese Dream (which no doubt involves adequate food), or the Siberian Dream (which is probably connected to weather). You only hear about the American Dream and only the American Dream sounds rich, promising and personal.
The American Dream is new in the world. Never before had any country offered a person a chance, like Vonnegut’s Harrison Bergeron, to “become what [he] can become.” Only here do we have the opportunity to choose our manner of life. The Founding Fathers envisioned a land where anyone, using the gifts God gave him, the help of that same God, and the work of his own mind and body, could spend his life reaching for and enjoying the results of his dearest dreams. Only here could a person live life for anything more than paradoxically trying to stay alive. Only the American Dream promotes and supports personal choice.
Dreams!I have woke up thinking was that real, or maybe it is coming to pass.Good or bad we dream.
