Cynical Side To The American Dream

Okay get mad,comment how you may,disagree or what have you but I speak the truth & the saying is that the truth shall set you free. Reality.. nothing more than a falecy to a large number of people, because sadly a lot of people will be nothing more than average Americans, it's not a bad thing if you're comfortable that way or that is where you want to be,but for the ones aspiring to be successful on some level,the probability of that actually happening is slim. Who wouldn't love to have the big house/houses,fancy cars,expensive clothing etc.? But if everyone were on top who'd be on bottom looking up? Honestly,who has spent their whole life working towards success but only being greeted by death? how many times have you asked yourself why? What are they doing that I'm not!? Is it possible that embracing mediocrity is my destiny? is it possible that I'm chasing the wrong dream? I'm in trying hard enough? I had a thought,maybe I just accept what's in front of me and stop forcing just embracing then my path will be shown to me? So much wasted time,so much disappointment, so much stress worrying about what I can't control. Could the real dream be me being happy and content with where I'm at, no matter how much I have,the person I'm with,or how successful that I am or am not?
