I never understood why people deem idealism as “illogical” or “naive,” as if it’s some sort of silly little thing reserved for people who struggle living in reality. Without aspiring to attain the ideal, change and progress cannot happen. Would you go back and tell MLK, Rosa Parks and Jesse Jackson that their attempts were futile and unrealistic? Would you tell them to get their head out of the clouds and quit fighting for radical change that “likely wouldn’t happen in your lifetime anyhow?” Look at us now. Without them, or people like them, our society would not be what it is today. We need idealists; whether they cause immediate or gradual change is irrelevant; the point is idealism has the power to create change. It’s sad that such a thought is frowned upon in most societies, when it is idealistic endeavours that have benefitted us the most.
