To my mind, the correct answer is “when connecting related but independent clauses of a sentence”. Semicolons are used to relate two independent clauses in the same sentence by introducing in some instances transition words (example “; therefore,”) or without connectors at all. However, the independent clauses are separated by a semicolon, they are closely related in thought.

Why is it important for people to have a dream? Or is it?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

This right here is half my life epiphany.

If people don't have a goal, they're purposeless. There's no point in them being aimless. There's a quote that says, 'Dreams are goals with no game plan.' Dreams are the first step in creating a goal. You just haven't done anything about it yet.

It's so important for people to have goals because otherwise they can sink into a state of either uselessness and depression, or they wander aimlessly with nothing to add to the world.

There's a song that says, '<em>We waited, we waited / For you but you just left us  / We needed you, I needed you / Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills / But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills.'</em>

People without life goals are six times as likely to die from drug or alcohol abuse/overdose, and twice as likely to be homeless as those with life.

In my opinion, not having a dream, not being ready to have a goal, is only one more step towards falling apart.
