1.Fig. a future reward after death, considered as a replacement for a reward not received on earth. Don’t hold out for pie in the sky. Get realistic. If he didn’t hope for some heavenly pie in the sky, he would probably be a real crook.
2.Fig. having to do with a hope for a special reward. (This is hyphenated before a nominal.) Get rid of your pie-in-the-sky ideas! What these pie-in-the-sky people really want is money.
if an idea or plan is pie in the sky, it seems good but is not likely to be achieved Those plans of his to set up his own business are just pie in the sky.
I have never endorsed an organization, or belief system on this Blog. I firmly believe that every individual being must inspect, understand, and chose their own path. Wisdom is a personal journey. But, as living organisms, we are also a part of the entire physical and spiritual entity called LIFE. In order to support life, based on the greatest good for all sentient beings on Earth, we must cooperate. Each of us work together to defend and protect and advance toward a state of universal peace, natural order, freedom, and spiritual well-being for every individual. The alternative is Global Tyranny, Ignorance, Superstition, Fear, Pain and Death. There may still be time to change what appears to be a perpetual “hell” on Earth. Therefor, I encourage you to spend 2 hours of your time to watch this video. “THRIVE: What on Earth Will it Take?” What do you have to lose?
Discovering that we do NOT know makes it possible to understand Life, Illusions, Delusions and other Universes.
BOTH SIDES NOW, by Joni Mitchell
“Bows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now
From up and down, and still somehow
It’s cloud illusions I recall
I really don’t know clouds at all
Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I’ve looked at love that way
But now it’s just another show
You leave ’em laughing when you go
And if you care, don’t let them know
Don’t give yourself away
I’ve looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It’s love’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know love at all
Tears and fears and feeling proud
To say “I love you” right out loud
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I’ve looked at life that way
Oh but now old friends are acting strange
They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed
Well something’s lost but something’s gained
In living every day
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From WIN and LOSE and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all
I’ve looked at life from both sides now
From up and down and still somehow
It’s life’s illusions I recall
I really don’t know life at all”
