Can we live without dreams?

So, I've heard people say that we can't live without dreams and goals for the future, because we need a motivation to keep getting up each morning. Do you think it's true? Do we really need a reason to be alive? Can we live each day like our last one, without thinking of the future?

Yes i believe it's true. If you have nothing to live for why even exist? If I was super rich and have no goals in life cause i have everything already i would imagine my life to be cut short. This is the reason why rich people like giving money to charities. It makes them feel good. We all should think about what we should accomplish each day. I personally don't feel good if I didn't accomplish anything in a day. It makes me feel useless.

Hi there friend.. the truth is we can't leave without setting up any goal. We can't accomplish anything if we don't have any goals in our lives. Each day we have a lot of things to do and those things should be done. To be alive doesn't mean you live, without dreams and hope you're not alive!

Well it is possible to live without dreams. As it it would be very possible to exist without them. However, what fun would that be? There needs to be something for us to strive for. Whether it be small or large, dreams tend to make life worth living. Just something that will make all of our hard work worth it in the end. Despite all of the bumps in the road, despite all of the roadblocks, there can be a goal that we can most certainly shoot for. I know personally that having dreams helps me get out of bed in the morning. Possible to exist, yes, but its really not possible to actually live.

We can live each day like it was the last one but i think we also need to think about the future because we have to know where we want to go and what we want to do. Living without goals like a innocent buttefly is cool but humans live in society so we can't live without thinking about tomorrow... (it's my opinion ^^)
