Dreaming what you want and being the person that you wish is the best thing a man can do. That dream resonating with someone else who is wishing well for you is not a bad thing, and that does not make your dream a burrowed one.Hogwarts03 wrote: ↑05 May 2021, 07:42 I don't think the author has contradicted himself as he's made it clear that God is equal to no man and I believe that the statement references to human beings.
The main point of interest for the author is that you're not supposed to take someone else's dream and make it your own or fabricate your dream to fit anyone else's expectation.
If your dream and purpose that you really strive for, and know that deep down that is what you want, aligns with someone else's (maybe your parents' ) then I think it would be okay because at the end of it, you are following what you want.
So no, I don't think the author contradicted himself.
But if your dreams are given to you by God, then the scenario changes. How can you say that the dreams are all your when they are given by the God?
