Ideals
LHX:
what in the blazes would be the opposite of having ideals?
yeah the notion of a future with a non-ending series of vague or severe tribulations sounds real appealing
does that qualify?
having ideals about what you know you DONT want?
im willing to head to paradise wherever it is and in whatever form it comes

good point/question.
Is there such a thing as a person without ideals?
I mean, wouldn't deciding you were just going to live on the couch watching CSI 24 hours a day still constitute some sort of ideal?
LHX:
i dig what is being said here tho
there needs to be a exploration of how people can viably live together on a planet in this universe - without causing each other more problems or undue stress
anybody who says it isnt possible prolly wont help something like that come to fruition
LHX:
also - it seems that 'ideals' get challenged from more than 1 angle:
there is the angle where even good things arent as 'romantic' or 'thrilling' as some may have been hoping
and there is the 'more fun than you really wanted' angle that we are reminded of around these boards

yup, I think childbirth is a good example of the first. Not that bringing a child into the world isn't rewarding, it is. However, the 'romantic' and 'thrilling' ideals before the event are quickly replaced by 'sleep-deprived' and 'trying'
And that is a case where not thinking it through can result in a drastic mistake. You think making a child is going to be peachy and keen and cute. Then it happens. Then, perhaps one or both of the parents check out because it wasn't what they bargained for. Then you have 3 fucked up people.
