Maybe they’re right. I’m just too idealistic
@SuperDuke Being an idealist is not being a simpleton; without idealists there would be no optimism and without optimism there would be no courage to achieve advances that so-called realists would have you believe could never come to fruition.

@ChippySuave @SuperDuke I’ll be five feet under and still claiming my youthful bliss.
@carmahaz @ChippySuave @SuperDuke I’m now officially in my old (odd?) ass juvenile delinquent stage. 🤣🤣
@carmahaz @ChippySuave I may become cynical and jaded and My body weary but the kid in me will never die. My children will carry on knowing right from wrong. Humility, charity, compassion and hope.
@SuperDuke @carmahaz Damn straight, skippy! Mine, too.
@SuperDuke
Idealistic to me, goes hand & hand with hope. They are what keep things in balance.
The gifts you are passing to your children will serve them well
@SuperDuke I'm not ready to let the youthful part of myself go yet. If maturity means becoming a cynic, if you have to kill the part of yourself that is naive and romantic and idealistic - the part of you that you treasure most - to claim maturity, is it not better to die young but with your humanity intact?
