More From Joseph Epstein

All men and women are born, live, suffer and die; what distinguishes us one from another is our dreams, whether they be dreams about worldly or unworldly things, and what we do to make them come about... we do not choose to be born. we do not choose our parents. we do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. we do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. but within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live.

Israel is a fulfillment, and as a fulfillment, it is flawed. dreams fulfilled are imperfect. and, israel is imperfect, of course it is - a far cry from the monumental dreams of the founding fathers. one of the reasons is that their dreams were unrealistic. they were bigger than life. these were messianic dreams, dreams about total redemption for the jews, for the world. such dreams do not come true, not in their entirety.

It's good to be young and full of dreams. dreams of one day doing something 'insanely great.' dreams of love, beauty, achievement, and contribution. but understand they have a life of their own, and they're not very good at following instructions. love them, revere them, nurture them, respect them, but don't ever become a slave to them. otherwise you'll kill them off prematurely, before they get the chance to come true.

Religiosity distinguishes america from most other western societies. americans are also overwhelmingly christian, which distinguishes them from many non-western peoples. their religiosity leads americans to see the world in terms of good and evil to a much greater extent than most other peoples.

I only have two kinds of dreams: the bad and the terrible. bad dreams i can cope with. they're just nightmares, and the end eventually. i wake up. the terrible dreams are the good dreams. in my terrible dreams, everything is fine. i am still with the company. i still look like me. none of the last five years ever happened. sometimes i'm married. once i even had kids. i even knew their names. everything's wonderful and normal and fine. and then i wake up, and i'm still me. and i'm still here. and that is truly terrible.
