I respectfully disagree with you. You are implying that we should cease to follow our higher goals, because we are in a better situation than those impoverished in our native countries. Such logic only serves to constraint human growth.

Although your statement is true, our environment is very different from our native country. Those impoverished, in our native countries, look up to others around them who have achieved a higher standard of living. Similarly, dreamers look up to their peers who have advanced in life.

Contrary to our peers, our lack of documentation becomes an obstruction in our path which impels us to feel extremely frustrated; it not only becomes a hindrance to our potential, but it inclines us to feel inferior to our peers. We continuously feel afraid and ashamed of revealing our status.

In essence, you must realize that each view is relevant to another. In other words, my view comes from observing my peers who are doing quite well. On the other hand, your view comes from observing those who are starving.

While your view may not be wrong, it is very different in comparison. I am comparing myself to those surrounding me, while you are comparing yourself to those somewhere else on the globe.
