Dreams of Grandeur

We don’t want to be forgotten, so we believe we are stronger, smarter, or funnier than we are. In our minds, we are the hero of their world and can always step in and do what is needed. Why? Because we want to be remembered positively. So, when we are no longer around, we are still thought of fondly. How we are seen in the eyes of others will never match how we see ourselves in our own eyes.
