Am I too idealistic?

[RevolutionaryActs]

Is it too idealistic to believe that one day I'll find my soul mate? Someone who will love me no matter what, and that I will love no matter what?

Is it too idealistic to think that equality is possible? That hatred and bigotry will someday cease to exist?
Is it too idealistic to believe that we will get our country back? That Bush and all of his people will get what they deserve?

Is it too idealistic to believe in world peace? To believe In unity, or to believe in love?

Is it to idealistic to have hope?

[Solon]

1. Not too idealistic at all...

except for maybe the first one :evilgrin:, I try the same thing, but have yet to meet that someone, or I fuck it up, being too shy and all. Hell, look at how long I been here at DU, it took over 2 years before I posted regularly.

[RevolutionaryActs]

2. LOL!

Killjoy. :P

[Solon]

I try my best...

:evilgrin:

You know, in all the time I been here, haven't entered the "in crowd" yet, always been that way.

[Floogeldy]

3. Yes, it is

I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but those ideals have nothing to do with the dominant realities of our planet.

It is wonderful that you must always keep those ideals as you traverse the paths of your life. You will change some things and some people. But you won't change the whole world.

You will, however, be rewarded.

Stay beautiful.

B-)

5. Thank you Floog.

:)

[Jamastiene]

4. I hope not.

If you are, I am too. If that is the case, I should probably end my life now, because those are exactly the same things I hope for. There must be hope, but maybe we haven't found it yet.

[RevolutionaryActs]

6. Maybe if we try, there will be change?

:)


I won't give up. I won't lose hope.

[Jamastiene]

18. I hope you are right.

Maybe you can lead us to that day. I'll follow. :)

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. hehe.

Someone said that to me once. She's kinda out there, a really spiritual person, and she said that to me. :shrug:

[Jamastiene]

44. I'd follow you.

I'm serious. Those are exactly the same hopes that I have. You cheered me up with that post. It gives me a little hope that humanity is not lost. :)

[JohnKleeb]

7. Am I too idealistic if I expect the goddamn religion wars to stop here?

[RevolutionaryActs]

9. At the moment? Yes. LOL

There's always hope though. :P

[JohnKleeb]

Yeah sigh I just wish people knew that discrimination can happen

to anyone.

[Jamastiene]

22. As for my part

I'll try my best, but if certain elements follow me to this thread, I will not be able to contain myself. I seem to have no problem with you even though I have a distinct problem dealing with religion. Is that close enough to a truce?

[JohnKleeb]

45. We're cool

Just dont diss me for being religious, I would never do the same for you not being religious.

[enigmatic]

8. I'm a broken-hearted idealist...

but still an idealist..

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. Well, at least you haven't given up.

:)

[enigmatic]

13. I haven't

Found my soul-mate; and although the world is going to shit around me, I'm at peace w/ my life..

[RevolutionaryActs]

16. That's all we can hope for in this life, I think.

and actually, I'm fairly content with my life, I just need a job. HAHA

[Runcible Spoon]

11. you've already found your soul mate!

honestly if you don't end up with Kleeb I will cry!

[RevolutionaryActs]

12. LOL!

Well no go for now, he's jailbait! :o

[Runcible Spoon]

15. you could always move to Alabama!

then you coulda had him at 13 heehee

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. LMAO! So disturbing...

:o

[JohnKleeb]

20. but I have a girlf-errrr girl I like

[Runcible Spoon]

24. ahhh that sucks!

I mean, I'm glad you've found someone. :evilfrown:

[JohnKleeb]

26. I am still single

and I have no chance with said girl but we're still friends.

[Runcible Spoon]

34. I think I remember a thread about that a while ago...

you always fall in love at teh worst times and/or with the wrong people...that's my biggest piece of love advice: don't go seeking it, it will come and kick you in the balls/ovaries eventually.

[JohnKleeb]

40. I dont think I am in love but damn I really like this girl but

I am afraid to ask and I have other reasons why I cant too.

[FreepFryer]

14. Only the first paragraph is unrealistic, in my opinion.

Not all of us find a soulmate and unconditional love in the same person. Some of us are blessed with lifelong devoted friends, some of us with loves that last a lifetime, and some with a combination of the two.

On the other stuff, you're right on.

Keep believing and you help make it come to pass.

[RevolutionaryActs]

19. You know though.

I think soul mates come in different forms, some can just be friends. You know? :shrug:

I know it won't happen though, it's just nice to dream. :)

[FreepFryer]

23. No, you need to know it will happen - in some form. Believe!

The key to happiness is being happy.

Love, Hope and Gratitude!

[RevolutionaryActs]

25. :-)

Thank you for that. :D

[Jamastiene]

38. You forgot to mention those of us

who don't stand a chance at finding either. Come on. Include me in something tonight.

[FreepFryer]

41. Oh shush. I'm sure there are a lot of people who love you...

...they just don't know it yet. Get out there and meet 'em!

For the record, you seem like a nice person from your posts!

[Jamastiene]

42. Thank you.

You seem nice too. I hope you are right that people will like me some day.

[RevolutionaryActs]

43. I like you!

:hi:

[Jamastiene]

46. Awww.

Thank you. I like you too. :hi:

[TahitiNut]

27. In my view, "idealism" is a direction, not a destination.

I've discovered that we have it within us to love unconditionally; that it's not about another but about ourselves. I no longer believe there are limits to this other than those we impose upon ourselves.

Everything else follows from this. Everything.

[RevolutionaryActs]

28. That's lovely. Thank you for posting.

:)

[FreepFryer]

30. Absolutely spot-on correct. We are beings of amazing power and love.

[Radical Activist]

29. There's no such thing as being too idealistic.

But I do think you need to play the field before you find your soul mate. You know, have some fun, experiment. That's all I'm saying.

[RevolutionaryActs]

31. LOL!

... wait, are you propositioning me? :o

[Radical Activist]

32. umm...no...not at all...

but in general, a young woman can learn a lot from a more experienced man. It can be very educational and beneficial even if they aren't in love. But I'm just speaking in general terms of course. O8)

[RevolutionaryActs]

33. ROTFLMFAO!

BWHAHAHAHA! Oh wow.

[Radical Activist]

36. Did that make you blush?

I really hope I've typed something tonight that made you blush. lol
You're fun to tease.

[RevolutionaryActs]

37. No, it didn't.

But I expect these things from you, so it's not shocking. :P

[Runcible Spoon]

35. yes and to Rad activist that includes the DU field

:evilgrin:

[More Than A Feeling]

39. As long as there is one of us left, not too idealistic at all. n/t
