Why do people believe that they will not be able to achieve their dreams and why do others shun peoples dreams?

In our culture we are all competitive. Thinking of someone elses success makes us think we are failures. It's like hearing your partner say someone else is attractive, we assume it means we are not if someone else is.

I think people shun other peoples dreams because they don't have any dreams of their own and hate that person for actually having something they look forward too. It is hard to remain positive. We are in a world where we deal with so much bs, from government, media, work, or whatever else it may be. All that negative stuff has to have an impact. I heard this quote that went something like, "you will know the truth and you will be angry". I forgot who it was quoted from but there's a lot of truth to it. If your ignorant and don't really know whats happening in the world around you its easy to be happy all the time, but if you understand how screwed up the world is then it will get you down.

Its all to easy to be negative ....the thought(knowledge ) of life having negative things in it soon becomes a reality... after all we learn from day one that pain exists ,watch a child learn about gravity(nothing ever goes up.. only down)obviously there are hundreds of examples you could find... each adding to the experience ....to a new mind these events can cause one to have a shall we say a not positive mental attitude these experiences now coupled with people (parents or whom ever ) without the desire or sometimes the capacity's to counter these natural conditions(explain the whys and where fores)... a child will adopt a why try(it always fails)...I believe we must be taught to be positive ,it does not come naturally..

Because life is stacked against you.
Sure, some people acheive their dreams. We make movies about them. Most other people just schlep their way through life doin something they can stomach until they get too old to do anything at all.

I think people might find that hard because they are raised that way.Or because they are plainly unmotivated and satisfied with their state of life.
