[Idealism vs Realism]
Bryan said i was deep today. And i agree, so that's why i've decided that today, i'll be unselfish and not blog about my own little life but blog on something big. Idealism vs Realism.
People sometimes just don't get what's ideal and what's real. They know what they want, and that's a good thing, but more often than not, they tend to belive that what's ideal is real.
But it isn't.
What's ideal isn't real because then it wouldn't be called ideal. But people live in their own little deluded world thinking that what's ideal is real. They simply refuse to accept the fact that what's real is not as ideal as they think. So they tell themselves, " This is what is ideal and i choose to believe that reality is this ideal situation."
But it isn't.
Take me for example, i like to think that i'm a deep person. And that is why i'm writing this post in this fashion. So ideally, i'm telling myself that i am deep because see, i can write about big things like Idealism and Realism. And that's the ideal situation - that i am deep. But i'm not. Because if you look at this post carefully, take away all the icings on this pathetic peice of cake, you realise that my very purpose of writing this is to show people that i am deep, is it not? And that in itself is not a very deep thing to do. But still, knowing this fact, i am posting this because i myself can't tell the difference between realism and idealism. Or rather, i don't want to.
Because that is what keeps dreams alive. That is what gives hope. That is what fuels the determination of people who have not made it yet. That is why people fight so hard to stay alive, ignoring the reality that no matter how hard they try, death wil catch up eventually.
And, that, is why people decide to live their lives in escapism.
That is why they decide not to differentiate realism from idealism.
