Why do people like to fantasize about things that may never happen?

Everyone you go, you hear people saying that Lebron will team up with Wade and Bosh in Miami. Though it MAY happen, I don't really see Lebron being second fiddle to Wade. Then there's been talks of Lebron going to the Knicks and Carmelo joining him next year, which I highly doubt will happen especially after seeing how the Melo and A.I experiment failed in Denver. So why do people continue to fantasize about stuff that may never happen? Can people learn to be realistic for once?Why do people like to fantasize about things that may never happen?
I think you just explained the definition of 'fantasize'

It "may" happen but it may not as well.

It's called being optimistic. You're being pessimistic. OPTIMISTIC PEOPLE ARE BETTER AND LIVE LONGER ANYWAY.Why do people like to fantasize about things that may never happen?
Ah yes. I fantasized that Nebraska would NEVER leave the Big 12 for the Big 10, and Colorado would NEVER leave the Big 12 for the Pac 10...and it didn't happen!



O wait...it did. Reality bites!
