Just as the title states, most of the time, it's not hard work that betrays us, it's the dreams and ideals thhat do.
People have said that hard work brings success, I beg to differ. The correct quote should be "Hard Work doesn't always bring success, but no hard work at all brings nothing" Hard work is essential, it is pure effort and determination to complete a certain task or goal, but what hurts the most, is the inability to achieve that certain goals despite the effort, cause without the effort, there is absolutely no chance in making the goal into reality.
Honestly, the dreams are the ones that hurt you, as you are unable to achieve that dream, you start feeling sad and depressed, and when that happens the biggest problem is being unable to accept your failure and move on.
In this imperfect and cruel world, many of us are unable to turn our ideals and dreams into reality. There is always a battle going on between searching for the truth and searching for ideals, and we work hard to make both become reality, but that's impossible, ideals and truth are always opposing each other, and most of the time, the truth is the one that escapes victorious.
Ideals bring hope, and many of us tend to overshadow the truth because of it, we are often blinded by what we want to see or hear, despite knowing it's impossible. And when reality strikes us in the head, when the truth stands infront of you, the damage you take is worse than having a bullet through your brain. The pain will last, unlike a bullet that kills you as the pain is instant, the pain will hurt you till you move on, which takes a long time, and that's when you realise that only dreams betray you.
I'm not saying dreaming is a bad thing, even I dream, it brings hope, but we all have to accept failures that come with dreaming, if not we'll keep going through the psychological torment we inflict on ourselves, keep being unable to forgive yourself.
As for hard work, we are not to blame are failure on it, and most the times, we do! If there is no hard work, the dreams will always stay on the other side of the universe, unable to achieve them. They give a shot at achieving dreams that we have.
Hard work betrays none, but dreaming betrays many. We are unable to stop dreaming as it brings us hope, but the consequences of it are ours to bear.
