Thought Catalog, again

I read this recently on Thought Catalog, and it perfectly matches what I wrote about in my last post.
It moves me.
Enjoy.

I believe there are two types of people: the drones and the dreamers.

Drones are people who are perfectly great, nice humans. Drones may be a bit of a negative term for them and I don’t mean it to be that way because there is absolutely nothing wrong with having this personality type or following this life path.

Essentially, these are people who follow a very straight and narrow life path. They go to college, get a job, buy a house, pack in the 401k, have a family, work work work until they are nearly dead. Then they retire wilted and enervated and spend their last days on Earth in a retirement villa in Boca Raton. They believe in working hard, in weekends spent recouping from an exhaustive work week drinking cheap, tasteless beer, in 2 week vacations to Florida or Jamaica, and teaching their children to live the same way.

Dreamers, on the other hand, see the world in a much bigger picture and operate on a different frequency. Their scale of reference far exceeds their city limits, even if they have never had the opportunity to venture outside their own dwelling.

Dreamers soak up words from books, images in films, and lyrics and melodies from songs because those are the things that feed them and nurture their souls and in return helps them create products of expression whether it’s a new social media site, a book of essays, a painting, photographs of war, or something else that connects us in a larger way.

Dreamers think bigger than most people, are unwilling to settle for zombie office culture, and want to create their own jobs. They are writers and computer programmers and entrepreneurs and musicians and other hungry souls who refuse to believe that this is the best that life gets.
