There's no "Green Light" anymore.
Is gone. In the world of today, there is no such thing.
The idea of the "green light" is mainly from The Great Gatsby (My second favorite piece of literature of all time.) Jay would looked off of his dock, staring at the green light that shined so brightly at Daisy and Tom's dock. Reaching for it. Desiring it. It represented Gatsby’s hopes and dreams for the future, was the guiding light to lead him to his goal. Daisy. The unattainable dream of being with the woman he loved more than anything.
The money meant nothing. The mansion, the parties....it was all for her. He thought that wealth was what she wanted, and he did everything he could to attain the wealth so he could please her. The green light was what inspired him. He would look at it. She is just across the water. So close, yet so incredibly far. His love for her was boundless. Willing to depart with any materialistic items to please her, because he thought she wanted that.
People not work like that anymore. So very few do. So very few.
