Martha always wanted that beautiful and comfortable sofa. It was her dream, no matter how crazy it sounded someone as poor as her saving money to buy an expensive piece of furniture. She waited more than one year, saving all the money she could in order to buy it. Every week that passed, she fed her dream by standing outside the furniture store and staring at her desired item. Sometimes she would enter the shop and pretend she had the money to buy it right away.
She was extremely happy the day she had all the money to buy it. However, when she got the sofa delivered at home, happiness gave place to fear. She was afraid of damaging her most precious asset, the one thing that took her so much effort to acquire. At that moment, she decided she would not use it and placed her old wooden chairs around her living room for people to sit on. Nobody was allowed to sit on the sofa, not even her. The years passed and when she was finally able to overcome her fear, the sofa had been severely damaged by termites.
We should cherish our dreams after they become reality and we must not be afraid of destroying them. Nothing lasts forever and, should something bad happen, it is better to destroy a dream we have lived at least for a moment than not being able to live a dream at all.
