I is for Idealism #AtoZChallenge — 6 Comments

  1. I think it’s wonderful to be idealistic. All the great things of this world have come from people who could imagine the best in humans. Love that Van Gogh picture. Never seen it before.

  2. Why do you think they no longer argue with you about your idealism? Do you think it’s because you’re older or because people are more supportive of idealism?

    • I definitely think it’s because I’m older! Maybe idealism looks better when it’s combined with (presumed) wisdom?

  3. I liked your reflections on idealism in your life, and how, it in truth, grounded your determination. I think we all need to be a good balance between idealism and realism – if we don’t believe the world can be better, we give up. That serves no one really.

  4. I think idealism is important. We need dreams and stories first to thrive for; we need to imagine what “better” looks like. I also don’t like it when people say things like “you’ll jinx it” or “you’ll be disappointed.” I can’t just worry ahead of time and expect good things. You are right.

  5. I’ve often been laughed at because of my idealism. I worked for many years in elementary school, and the children and teachers and parents were all focused on trying to be and become better people. Maybe this isn’t the reality of larger world, but it was certainly a wonderful place to work.
