Realist or Idealist
I've always been the staunch idealist, you know, the glass is always half full with me. But I've realized that as I get older, I am becoming more and more of a realist everyday. We're all instilled with the mentality that anything is possible. But I realize as the years pass that nothing in life is ever promised. And instead of expecting great things to come my way, I've just learned to enjoy things while I have them and take life for what it is. How about you all?
I might even be veering towards the direction of extreme cynical. The reason this topic came up in my mind was because I was discussing the meaning of life with a friend. And I realized that at the end of the day, our petty problems are so minute, because no matter what should come our way over the course of our day, that sun is still going to rise over the horizon the next morning. I find comfort in that, but at the same time, I've come to see that shit happens. It doesn't happen for a reason, it just happens. Life goes on. Sorry if my rant seems to be going nowhere. Just wondering if anyone else ever wonders this sort of thing. If you don't care to relate, carry on. But for those who do, I'd love to have a listen.

up until a few yrs ago, i would have agreed. but now i have put on new glasses that have instilled in me the sight to see through every thing through the scope of religious horizon
.the biggest reality is that life is a bubble of water of gas and no one is certain when it is gonna burst. and since being a muslim we believe in life after death, and this life is so incomparably petite, that the more we drown in the sea of world, the more we bring to our would be suffering in the life hereafter. the point that i am trying to convey here is, to every betrayal, to every insult, to every act of enemity, now my attitude has changed and i am more accomodating than i was ever. And that is just because I have put on my new glasses .As a wise person once said, "do your best but expect the worst", "every situation gets worst, before it gets better", we cannot be sure what is good and what is bad until we have seen it through. So judging things prematurely may be another pitfall that we as humans may be facing and may be that is what we ought to be changing.

Not a day goes by when I don't hear it never crossed my mind echoed inside of me. It's like a tight slap from the realm of reality that's bound to make me weak in my own strengths. Life shifts direction, new experiences, circumstances et al make or break us so there's no point in complaining. I, for now, like to go with the flow.

I am a realistic idealist. I want perfection but I am not arrogant. I want utopia but I am not illusionist. I expect perfection while keeping in mind that nothing can be perfect except God. I strive for perfection without caring if I will become perfect or not. Indeed, as a human, I will never become perfect. But the desire to become perfect is more important for me than actually becoming perfect.
