Carpe Diem

"Only in their dreams can men be truly free. 'twas always thus and always thus will be." Carpe Diem. Nothing more than false hope and the possibility it promises, as real as, cars of sand. A call to act on boundless ambition inspires the populus, however, let you be reminded it is the same "tragic flaw" of hubris that has caused the demise of many men. Ambition caused Icarus to fly to close to the sun, he found the reality of Carpe Solem. Perhaps, same way man shall find the reality of Carpe Diem.
