The Idealism of youth and the generation wherein some never grew up. [the "peter pan" generation?]

Idealism.

An exercise of the mind to determine the best "possible" circumstances imaginable and set that as a goal.

Nice. But...

Let's assume you could create the ideal social community. Everyone works hard at the things they love best and there is the perfect mix of diversity of talents. Everyone feels personal fulfillment. You appreciate everyone else for what they provide to the whole. Everyone's needs are met and so much more. Life is sweet.

Then...

Along comes reality. It comes in the form of outsiders; those who exult in plundering and pillaging as a way of life. Those who never devote any time to building productive systems. Those who sleep, fight and play and consider those who plan how to sow and reap to be fools. The only thing of value in life is a sharper sword and a willingness to shed blood.

This is the reality of the history of mankind. It has ever been so.

To be continued ...

Love someone well today!
