Desires always-lead us to one or another kind of sorrow. Less desire we have happier we could be. One who has no desires would be always happy. Desire less person is a saint.
Dreaming is not bad but expecting that it would come true is really foolish. . Whatever a little knowledge we have or whatever we attain or gather we should share with others.
