The Change (an Observation)

I have noticed that, in the face of death by way of terminal illness, people are encouraged to do all the crazy things they've ever dreamed of.

And I have noticed that, in our able-bodied everyday lives, we are simply thought of as crazy when we pursue our dreams.

If I could change the world in any singular way, I would make it standard practice that, impending death or not, we encourage and admire those who nurture their crazy dreams.
