Of ambition and foolishness

One of the things that summons the feeling of enthusiasm is sure the idea of being able to do great things. Be it a delirious pretensiousness, I think dreaming shouldn't ever be a discouraged activity, even with all the foolishness that comes along with those high dreams.

Of course, being naive might hinder us from reaching our dreams. We need to have a wise and tempered Vesta to keep Hephaestus a little closer to the earth and to accept the logistics of perseverance. But still, being such a fool is probably what makes me so insistent, instead of usually being stated otherwise. A good ammount of ingenuinity, and even pretensiousness, gives me a desire so great to pursue that a sense of reality will most likely keep underwhelmed.

It reminds me of that saying by Steve Jobs that we are already all too familiar with: "stay hungry, stay foolish". The undercurrent behind this is clearly to tell us to nourish our flame of hephaestus.
