I have wondered if "Why do we build castles in the sky?" is really asking: Why do we have false hope in God, Heaven, etcetera? It is just as possible, if not more so, that those things do not exist than it is possible that they do. Realistically, they can not be seen or proven. Yet, people believe in them wholeheartedly, Maybe just so they can feel better about life and death? "Build castles in the sky" could mean a belief in "Heaven", while also saying that it is unreachable, unrealistic, and/or impossible. Maybe?
