The "Dish" Of Life

A famous Italian song, "Perdere l'Amore" (Losing Love) says: "Pick up the broken pieces of an imaginary life". It makes me think about how often our lives are lived in a way where  all exists in our minds instead of in truth. Then - when we are faced with reality - we tend to refuse to see situations as they are. If we were wiser, we would accept the fact that our dream was unreal  and would pick up the shards. What then? We could try to glue the pieces back together (but the cracks will always show) or simply accept that the "dish" is not there any longer. How to react? Cry and mope? Accept the situation  and do without the "dish", with a smile? Get a new "dish"? You decide.
