Summary

This quote suggests that creating dreams, fantasies, or unrealistic plans is effortless and offers a form of escapism. It highlights the allure and convenience of seeking solace in the imaginary. Additionally, it implies that it is simple to construct false hopes and ambitions without considering the practicality or feasibility behind them. These "castles in the air" represent the ease of indulging in illusions but also serve as a reminder of their transient nature, as they lack a solid foundation.
