I feel like the American dream is more comparable to a dog chasing a car. The dog believes that it can catch the vehicle, not realizing that its own naivete has deluded its sensibilities to the point where chasing a car seems a manageable feat. Slowly, its aspirations fade into the distance, and the dog is relieved, for he wouldn’t even know what to do had he realized his ambitions and conquered the car. We’re all sort of dogs chasing… I mean me too thanks
