Idealism vs. Realism
Idealism and realism are two very different things, but if we had one without the other, then our lives would be terrible. If we had realism without a speck of idealism, life would be so boring. No one would take chances or be creative. They would have thought, “I can’t do this, it is so unrealistic. However, if we had idealism without realism, then the world would become chaotic. If everyone thought that they could do whatever they wanted and nothing would stop them, then nothing would get done. People would be attempting things that are never going to work. Some people might get lucky, but most will just fail. So, we need both idealism and realism to have a good life.
