Yesterday, in the Hive Learners Community Hangout I hosted, we had a very controversial topic of discussion, which was:
Would you rather live in a world where everything you dream becomes a reality, but you have no control over your dreams; or a world where you have complete control over your thoughts and actions, but your dreams are controlled by someone else or only exist in your imagination?
When referring to dreams in this context, we mean your ambitions and life goals. Now, consider this question: would you choose to have no control over your future, even though you have the ability to know what the future holds, but cannot do anything about it?
This looks like a superpower to some people, and it's quite cool because you can know what the future entails, but it comes with a huge sacrifice, which is having no control over what you see in the future. This scenario is quite similar to most movies. However, I don't know if I would want to know something that I have no control over, because it would be very tormenting.
In the second scenario, your thoughts and actions are under your control, but your dreams and ambitions are controlled by someone else. This exists in our daily life because most of the factors like the government, family, friends, and people, have a hand in controlling our dreams. However, having control over your thoughts and actions means that you have a chance of achieving the dream you want.
I can relate to this scenario many times. For example, a friend of mine wanted to study engineering and applied to study the course at the University of Funaab, but after taking the exams, his course was changed to Agricultural Economics. This is an example of a dream being changed, but since he had control over his thoughts and actions, he chose to wait for another year to reapply for the course, although he didn't end up getting what he wanted.
I am sure in a way you may be able to relate to this second scenario.
@princessbusayo and 
@adaezeinchrist helped me understand this second scenario. They made me realize that this is the type of scenario most of us are living in and yet some are surviving.
The third scenario is quite tricky, in a way that your ambitions only exist in your imagination. Does it mean that you can't attain your dreams no matter how hard you try? I am still trying to fully understand this.
From these three points, which type of world do you think you can live in and why? Or do you have a different perspective or interpretation of these scenarios?
