The problem with theoretical-practical land. On theoretical land everything can be whatever you want it to be. On practical land, things react in a certain way; and what is worse, they react making another 582 more things move with it. Everything, even in the subtlest aspects, is related.

So when you want to reach an ambitious goal, you have to take in count zillions of factors before acting. Most of them, human factors.

But it's not impossible though; we just need a method and patience to follow it to the end. Just like, following the algorithm of division you can divide large numbers. Though it can be annoying to make a huge division, it wouldn't be difficult as long as you keep the simple algorithm in your head.

So we need a method, a simple instruction to make this race to that goal possible. I (although I still doubt of it) consider that the Golden Rule is a good method: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you".

However, I still have a question: is arrogance an actual goal? Be the best, live forever, stay on the top of the hill,... Should we permit such dreams of greatness?
