Idealism > Realism > Reality Poem by Matthew Boisjolie

'Idealy' in life we can be responsible as a whole. We are good people with values and goals. 'Reality' however throws that 'Idealism' every which way. We live life with the 'Idealism' that things are going to be ok and work out in the most part. In 'reality' this is not always the case. Things are said and done that make us upset and angry. Maybe in the 'Idealism' of the situation, this was a good ideal, but in 'Reality' it hurts people and makes them upset. The 'Realism' is we don't mean to do these things sometimes, but the 'Reality' is that they were done, and we all make mistakes. In a perfect society, the 'Idealism' is treat others as you want to be treated. But the 'Reality' is, that is not practiced to often. By controlling your 'Idealism', the 'Reality' of a 'Idealistic' perfect society can start to taking form. 'Idealy' people want to be happy and move on with their lives, and 'Reality' does not allow for that to happen. 'Realism' is the key to 'Reality', when 'Idealism' is simply the door knob. Without 'Realism', 'Reality' would be false, and without 'Idealism', 'Reality' would be chaos. The 'Realism' that we see from situations is nothing more than our 'Idealism' for that situation, sugar coated with 'Reality'. Yet 'Reality' is neither 'Idealism' or 'Realism'. It is the 'Reality' of 'Realism'. Before a utopia was 'Ideal' in this society, hatred and hurt was the 'Realism' of 'Reality'. Why must we suffer through this 'Reality' of chaos? Why must we have the 'Realism' that this is not the way it is suppose to be? If the situation brings this to focus, stand back, and Look at the 'Reality' of the situation before consulting the 'Idealism' of how the situation is suppose to end, cause in the end, 'Reality' will take that 'Idealism' outcome of that situation and shatter it into a billion pieces.
