the argument for idealists

Once you say you're going to settle for second, that's what happens to you in life

It's a hard life to live Nel, cos you're living a life without much compromise. People have to bend around you... and there are many who are not willing to do that.

But I think we need them, because there are those who aren't idealist, but look up to those who life their life in an ideal way and somehow strive for something better, as a result.

Good point :)

I'm not saying that being an idealist is the better way to go - I'm just sticking up for us because so much of the world think we're foolish for aiming for perfection. I understand that, to some degree, it might just be... but I also know that it ain't black and white...

Seeya soon mate!

Remember that perfection is not always attainable. Perfection is what everyone wants, but don't let your life be ruled by it, especially when it comes to relationships, compromise is what makes it last not perfection.
