One of the really sad things about getting older and watching current events is that you come to realize that things won’t improve in your lifetime. All of the dreams of a better, fairer world you’ve had for years don’t have enough time to come to pass before your time is up.

This has me melancholy today.

Real talk. Well said, but this hits hard because youthful idealism dies a hard and painful death.

A quick scan of the episode titles will confirm these are all still issues haha

Relatable. I'm not familiar with the show or the issues in question, but whatever those issues may be, it's pretty likely that we haven't fixed any of them.

Youthful Idealism sounds good to me 😉👍

Eh, I dunno... I'm wary of the toxic blind optimism I often see. It gives me the creeps. I don't think that worldview is as valid as it likes to think it is. It's a type of denial at best.

But I do think there's some sort of tempered approach that can take the place of youthful idealism. That's the path I'm trying to navigate, anyway.

Just stick with idealism 🙌🤩 it’s pretty much as valid world view as any other option and makes your days better

Glad to hear it. Youthful idealism may die a hard and painful death, and that's a necessary loss of aging... but still, that's not all there is to the story. 

Maybe there are "consolation prizes" (or something like that) for the loss of youthful idealism.

Indeed. Today I'm feeling the fight in me again. 

Taking my hope with me to the grave dammit. 😊

That sounds like the kind of idealism I can get behind: the dream-mind taking the reins and using logic.

For maybe the last 7 or so years I felt the doom slowly creeping into my worldview. But at some point recently, something similar happened to when I'm having a bad dream, and become lucid that it's a dream because the logic doesn't add up. Somehow I have a deep, inner idealistic logic I guess 😌 ✨

For sure.  Remember when we thought 2015 was going to look like Back To The Future II?
