Life

Idealism is an doubled-edged sword. No doubt having ideals can actually spur pp to greater heights, when they have optimistic viewpts and truly believe that only the sky is the limit. However, I realised that in today's society,esp in Singapore, people are setting too high and therefore unrealistic goals for themselves. This is when idealism becomes a dangerous tool of mankind. It can drive a person to total desperation, even to point of insanity. We go around telling pp that nothing is impossible, so as to simply bring hope to pp who are at difficult crossroads of their lives. However, when "nothing is impossible" becomes so ingrained into a person that it becomes his or hers mantra, way of life, extremism is bound to happen in some stage. I am beginning to feel the cracks of some of my friends with highly idealistic values, who are beginning to have serious doubts not in their valus, but the environment that they are in. Forcing themselves to pull away from the public, whom they think are mindless creatures that only knows how to lead the mundane lives, never improvin. I once had that kind of idealism in me too, but luckily I am someone who is pretty able to adapt, therefore only suffered some minor cuts. I myself is also constantly fighting myself against goin way too idealistic. Lacking the skills to help my friends, I hope that time will bring light to them, and let nature takes its course.
THE WORLD IS NOT PERFECT....We must no doubt learn to go with the surroundings, and not pit our thinking against what we see around us.....
