- ๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ฟWENDYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy's Blog๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ฟ
Hello guys, Welcome to my blog!!!I hope you can see or find something you like or want to know here.๐๐๐
- Part 1 ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
- Reality VS. Ideal ๐ซ Positive VS. Negative
❤I think the American Dream is an๐
inviolable obsession ๐
in everyone's heart๐๐!!!!!!
Everyone should look at the obsession in their hearts with dialectical eyes.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
๐๐๐What is OBSESSION??-----Obsession implies that people are so much held by intensive desires or ideas of wanting to realize something or to get something. ๐๐๐No matter what they have achieved now๐๐ช or how poor they are๐๐, there must be something in their heart to support them. ๐บ
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
As mentioned in the๐๐๐ Declaration of Independence๐๐๐, the American Dream gives people the right to survival, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.๐๐ป
๐๐๐ I believe that the obsession within the heart of each person has also given each of them the same equal right so that they are free to choose whatever they like to go after or to realize.๐๐ And likewise, they should also be able to obtain HAPPINESS by realizing the obsessions of their hearts.
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅBut we cannot merely judge whether an obsession is POSITIVE๐ or NEGATIVE ๐because its effects๐ฃ๐ฃ are often UNPREDICTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| Everything has two sides |
๐๐On the one hand, obsession can encourage us to work hard to realize our dreams.
๐๐On the other hand, obsession may lead us astray. Because many things cannot be achieved through hard work, which also leads to people who cannot meet the current life, have too much unrealistic fantasy.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
For example, I realized the obsession in my heart at the age of 13 --- have a puppy.๐ถ๐ถ

| Piggy๐ท, I miss you so much!!!! |
Due to academic and other reasons, I failed to take good care of this dog, and he died of illness after eight months.........๐ง๐ง๐ง๐ง ๐ถI suddenly realized that even though I achieved this obsession, I was not as happy as expected at the same time.๐ถ
When I did not realize my obsession, I had many expectations in my heart๐๐๐. But when I realized my obsession, I felt despondent๐๐๐.
๐๐๐๐๐WHY???????????????๐๐๐๐๐
Through this matter, I understood that we should be responsible for our obsessions and dreams. This shows that the American dream or obsession has a different impact on everyone.
๐We cannot make it dominate our thoughts and actions, but we cannot give up realizing the dreams or obsessions in our hearts.

This is a movie poster for a film ANDHADHUN (The Blind Melody)๐น๐น. The actor in the movie has the obsession to win the prize in the piano competition.๐ธ In order to earn money for the competition, he pretended to be blind.๐ “Every artist has a secret” shows that everyone has obsession.
Oh, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~ LIAR!!! VS. POOR TUNER!!!
Driven by the obsession in his heart, the tuner has conducted deception, and not only did he fail to realize with his dream, but also, he paid a painful price.๐๐๐ At the end of the movie, although the tuner was not able to participate in the piano competition to w⚔⚔in the prize❌❌, he finally lived a prosperous life.๐๐
- This movie strongly proves the obsession in people's heart, or the American Dream, is like a double-edged sword⚔, which has a positive ✔ and negative✖ impact on people's lives. Therefore, only if we take the American Dream dialectically there be chance of bringing about happier lives for us.
- I think this movie also proves that the American Dream is presented in two ways: REALITY and IDEAL, which depends on HOW people look at it. Everyone's different ideas and visions will lead to different presentations of the American Dream.
Here is the movie clip๐๐https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iVYI99VGaw๐
