Are We Built For This?

Are We Built For This? 

Were we programmed to dream but expect reality; 
assembled to succeed but anticipate failure; 
built to live but wait for death; 
constructed to love but presume heart ache; 
put together to socialize but look forward to solitude? 
Or 
Are we supposed to find reality in our dreams; 
let failure pave the way to success; 
permit death to show us the vibrance of life; 
allow heartache to teach us to love; 
agree to let solitude explain how to appreciate being together?
