It was taunted as reality. It was dangled as a carrot. In terms of people's hopes and dreams, to say that that is less of a reality than the daily grind they find themselves in is maybe not correct.

Summary

This quote highlights the irony of society's portrayal of dreams and aspirations versus the harsh realities of everyday life. It suggests that people often idealize their hopes and dreams, which are sometimes offered as false promises or unattainable goals ("dangled as a carrot"). However, the quote argues that these dreams hold significant importance in people's lives and cannot be dismissed as mere fantasies. It questions the notion that the frustrations and routines of daily life are more real than the inner yearnings and ambitions that drive individuals.
