Everyone, even that poor family has hopes and dreams. For some it's as simple as having a meal that day. For others it's dreaming of finishing school and getting a better job, or heck a job period for many right now. For some it's a beautiful wedding. For others it's the Ultimate Tree House. For others it's bigger, world peace, clean water for all, end to hunger, cure for disease, etc.
I don't think there's a thing wrong with hoping or dreaming for better things... so long as to get them you aren't taking those things from others of course. This, for me, is a topic about HOPE and for MANY people hope is all they have keeping them going. IE that family. No way would I tell them they had no right to hope for better things. No way would I purposely try and kill their hopes and dreams by pointing out that someone else is worse off... and there's always someone worse off.
Just because you have a someday dream doesn't mean that you aren't aware and empathetic to others.
Yep! you are right. The OP asked about dreams.
I answered that question.
I worked hard, my wife worked hard, we set a "goal" and attained that goal.
So while not perfect, it is what we wanted, and what we worked for.
Not trying to be the forum police, but the OP asked about dreams--- not BAGGAGE.
