“We must allow fantasies to teach us important truths about our desires.”
— Alain de Botton

Simplified Meaning:
Our dreams and imagination often show us what we really want deep down. Think about a kid who dreams of being a superhero. This fantasy isn't just about fun; it shows a desire to help others and be strong. In our grown-up lives, when we imagine being rich or famous, it's not just about money or attention. It's often about wanting security or appreciation. So, by paying attention to these dreams, we can learn a lot about what we truly need and care about. Recognizing this can help us make better choices and understand ourselves better.
