Beginning or End of the World
Though the words begin and end are opposites their connection to one another is undeniable. When something begins, something else ends (most likely what was before it). When something ends, something else begins. So the question becomes if the world ended what would come to be? What would come next? And concerning the beginning of the world, what ended when it started? What was before?
Wishful Thinking
I often engage in wishful thinking. Often can be equivalent to every day, every ten minutes or once a week. But for the average person I do believe often translates to every ten or so minutes. All persons recognize when something goes wrong and automatically one starts to think of how the said situation could have been perfect, much better or gone more in their favor. That is wishful thinking.
Daydreaming and wishful thinking are be interchangeable concepts for daydreaming is most commonly wishing of what you want; whatever you wish to be is played perfectly in ones mind. To dream is to wish.
