Answer:
This right here is half my life epiphany.
If people don't have a goal, they're purposeless. There's no point in them being aimless. There's a quote that says, 'Dreams are goals with no game plan.' Dreams are the first step in creating a goal. You just haven't done anything about it yet.
It's so important for people to have goals because otherwise they can sink into a state of either uselessness and depression, or they wander aimlessly with nothing to add to the world.
There's a song that says, 'We waited, we waited / For you but you just left us / We needed you, I needed you / Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills / But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills.'
People without life goals are six times as likely to die from drug or alcohol abuse/overdose, and twice as likely to be homeless as those with life.
In my opinion, not having a dream, not being ready to have a goal, is only one more step towards falling apart.
