«Do you agree with the statement: Fear can prevent people from pursuing their dreams»

I believe that every person has a dream and sometimes not even one. But for its implementation, it is not enough just to dream about it, you need to act, overcome obstacles and difficulties. After all, it is the path to the goal that makes it so desirable. However, many, faced with the slightest difficulties, abandon the cherished intention. The reasons are different: someone is scared off by public opinion, someone cannot bear physical stress, and someone simply cannot overcome their fears for the sake of a dream.

Numerous examples of Russian and foreign classical literature clearly reflect the problem of the impossibility of realizing a cherished dream. Let us recall the famous novel by M. A. Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita". The main character of the work dreamed of becoming a famous writer. And, it would seem, nothing prevented him from turning thoughts into reality. However, the serious censorship policy of the state put an end to his career and all his literary endeavors. The master could not realize his dream due to the inability to resist the state system. It was easier for him to give up, quit any writing activity and erase his dream forever from memory. He even burned his novel, which only Satan could resurrect. If not for Margarita and Woland, the man would not have been able to get out of the insane asylum and complete the novel, because he did not have enough strength to fight for his right to vote. Fear and cowardice prevented the hero from realizing his intention and finishing the work.

Sometimes ordinary laziness interferes with the realization of a dream. The well-known novel by I. A. Goncharov "Oblomov" is a vivid confirmation of this. We see that the main character has a dream of a better life, family and love with Olga. However, Ilya Ilyich is not ready to act for the sake of his cherished desire. The main obstacle on the way to a dream is the unwillingness to overcome their bad lazy habits and change their lying and "careless" lifestyle. It would seem that there are no social, economic or other obstacles on the way to the goal, but nevertheless laziness, as the inner cause of all troubles, turns out to be more important than dreams. She hinders Oblomov in everything and defeats his resistance.

So, many works of Russian and foreign classics let us understand that the path to the dream is long and thorny, laziness, fear and cowardice interfere with us, but still we pass it. To realize a dream, a strong desire and readiness for action are enough. In this case, no internal fears, disapproving views of society or other external factors can interfere, because if you want something very much, then "the whole Universe will help your desire to come true."
