To what extent do fantasy goals keep people going in general?

My fantasy is to write books I suppose... that really make a difference. It's more out there than Joe The Plumber's. Becoming rich is I suppose a more realistic goal/fantasy. Socialism would certainly destroy the goal of many people. Would need to help them find some other goal...

And/or show them how empty their goal actually is...? But is it really empty, Relatively speaking?

...I wonder why properly formatted links don't appear, oh well.

I have to sleep better. It was two weeks after stopping the coffee that I began having... "issues". Shall try to just drink a cup every other day or so.
