I am 25 now and I am supposed to be dead fucking serious about my long term dreams. The best way to start is doing something right away. Now, is never late.
What do I dream of doing?
Write a book and give my impression on the state of affairs. Share my beliefs and add them to the pool of intellectual property of humanity. No matter how minimal the impact could be for now, but it can certainly influence someone and be the game changer. Being the game changer here is not the purpose by the way. The purpose is just to expand humanity's intellectual pool. If the entire world had the luxuries I have had, I can imagine the closest we can get to a Utopian society.

This morning I woke up to a cosy sunshine, made myself a cup of tea, read a few pages of newspaper, and here I am, scratching my head with ideas. This is the luxury I am talking about.
Do you expect the people of India below poverty line, who have hungry children to feed, who have had their crops failing again, who have to fight the ever-growing rates of inflation, to think at my level?
On a global scale the situation in some countries is dire. Iraq and Syria for example. These refugees haven't seen a beautiful morning, with birds singing, with kids playing etc, in a very long time. They have had to face the rat-ta-tats of Kalashnikovs, and booms of mortars every morning they wake up. Can they ever think of the luxury of sipping tea and discussing world politics?

The day the world manages to give everyone a proper meal, few clothes, a small home with state provided securities of liberty and fraternity, and some form of education to make them realize what they are worth, the world will start discussing what is the best for everyone on a global scale, over a cup of tea one fine morning (I don't think that basic 'luxury' for everyone is something that the world can't afford). We will see a boom in the world's intellectual pool.
Ideas will come out of every corner in the world and the internet will be the level platform for the relatively poorest to compete with mightiest megalomaniacs. The world will be on the same page.
I might feature this article in a book I write in the future. That would be a step taken towards my dream.
What is the purpose of having a dream too, even though life seems purposeless many a times?... To be continued on another Sunday morning.
A lot can happen over a cup of tea, indeed.
