I find idealisms a really frustrating part of life!. There are things i feel so strongly about ideallistically yet I know they will never be so, but it frustrates me enormously!.
Ideally we would have no ideallisms, that way I would be happy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Idealism is the tendency to represent things in an ideal form, or as they might or should be rather than as they are, with emphasis on values, right!? In that case, isn't idealism more of a tendency than a condition!?
I think actual idealism comes from watching, studying, and reading about people "higher" than us, whether that be in wealth, appearence, or their life in general!. Or for some people, idealism could come from empathy!.!.!. I mean, you only have to look at reality!.
Perhaps not to be idealistic would be being ignorant or naive!.!.!.
