Isn't it a person's dreams that allow him to face the future to begin with? If you lose sight of what it is you want to accomplish or what you want to have, there's nothing left to keep your resolve from crumbling. You'll have nothing to fight for, and you won't be focusing on anything at all. A soldier faces forward because he dreams of peace, a king faces forward because he dreams of prosperity for himself and his subjects, and of protecting his kingdom...
I think everyone has at least one thing that they truly want. It's an important part of being human, and I don't think it should be denied or taken lightly.
...Of course, it'd still be stupid of someone to waste all of his time daydreaming.
[tl;dr post that may well be a failed argument on my part XD]
...Well.
