There is a Thai idiom "dog look at airplane" which refers to a person from a lower position is hoping to be with someone much high above him or her, or trying to strive for something out of reach. I think it's a good way of picturing it.
A dog can never have any money to buy the ticket.
A dog will never be able to fly up into the air because it doesn't have wings.
No one will ever let a dog into an airplane, the highest that it can be is a cage somewhere in the storing room under the airplane, and that can only happen if a dog's owner is rich enough to pay for its journey.
Well, there might be a few lucky dogs in the world that their owners are millionaires and have a whole plane for himself or herself. That's the only chance a dog can be in airplane.
But mostly, what can a dog do if it's fallen in love with an airplane?
Of course, just watch and howl.
And one day, its neck muscle might gets hurt from looking up too much.
And that is the day the dog begins to learn that what it is hoping for can never come true.
And that it is a stupid thing to do to keep looking like that.
And that their voice will never be heard by the airplane.
Then the dog will turn its head back to the ground, it's true home.
It will accept the simple truth....
"I am a dog"
"That is an airplane"
"Dogs are not born to fly"
It might sound like a silly mean-nothing post, but this is my resting place and I am writing it to relieve some of the pain....
