In the human quest of our current exploration of our solar system,
and in our ambition to establish colonies on the moon and Mars,
and in our ambition to explore space beyond our solar system;
Why is 'dreaming' important ?
Why is human imagination important ?What is it, to dream ?
What is it, to imagine ?
And where does 'reality' begin, or end ?
Q.Why is it, that human imagination, can imagine a future, of human exploration of our solar system and of space beyond,
but none of us are able to imagine a peaceful world, that is,
a world without human conflict ?
If the latter were truly achievable [the
true imagination of it], wouldn't we have already achieved that goal ?

Ecclesiastes 1:12
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
"From whence come wars...".
Q.Does the path we choose in life, determine the destination we will arrive at ?
Some say such a conclusion is absurd and unwarranted.

Day after day alone on the hill,
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still,
But nobody wants to know him,
They can see that he's just a fool,
