Second Thoughts
Before you experience with your own eyes and ears the reality of any given situation, that situation is a dangerous thing to behold in your mind, too susceptible to the sculpting of your inner desires, too malleable under the weight of your dreams and aspirations for it to be able to hold its real shape. After enough time pondering the what-if's and if-only's and I'm-gonna's, your mind can weave itself a nice comfortable little cloud where you can curl up in a fluffy, warm bed and dream happily ever after. Only when you actually get into an airplane and jump out into the cloud do you realize that the fluffiness is an illusion, the warmth is really a biting cold, your padded bed is just a collection of water molecules you're now falling through, and all you dream about is getting back into the airplane you shouldn't have foolishly jumped out of to begin with.
