Realism to me is saying I am not perfect. Angela is not perfect! Ahhhhh, does that feel good or what?!?!
What is real? Real to me is accepting you are not free from fault, falling short of your stated ideals, making a bad decision, or telling an untruth. It is in knowing that you are fallible, that you will succumb to another's whim or even perhaps even their emotional blackmail. Maybe you trusted someone when you shouldn't have or maybe you promised someone something outlandish and you knew you couldn't deliver.
We were born imperfect human beings. So why do we insist on holding people to unrealistic standards? don't EVER lie,(once a liar always a liar), don't EVER say something to hurt my feelings (because that means you don't love me) don't EVER cheat on me (because then you always will)... The laundry list and it's so called rationalizations could go on. (and yes I am using a romantic relationship as supporting example because this is often where the most unrealistic standards are placed).
Why are people afraid to say they love imperfect beings when we ourselves are unperfect? Why do we measure our worth ALWAYS by the way someone treats us? Sometimes people will be people and you have zero to do with how they treat you. Sometimes, I said.. but not always.
I often wonder if some are wired to always react negatively and unrealistically about someone else's transgressions. Are they aware of their own? Do they put on the other person's shoes? Whether it's convoluted or absolute, some people will mill about as if if their number 2 doesn't emanate unpleasantries. Newsflash.. See the error of your ways.... and adjust accordingly. Smothering someone with the breadth of your impossible ideals that is as wide as the Atlantic is not a good thing.
PS. Like right now, I'm like this blog entry sucks, has no depth.. sounds affected...seems incomplete... but guess what? I'm not perfect so my blog won't always meet my ideal.. And I'm okay with that. :)
Truth be told: The ideal that someone can be free of imperfection is flawed. Even a diamond isn't perfect, and it's still valuable and has worth.
