Idealism // Realism (very short and simplified post)

I've always been someone idealistic by nature, but somehow sometimes a very cynical individual. Idealism is most lethal when regarding people. Yes, you can see something wonderful that everyone possesses. You can find beauties in the human condition and lack weighty negativity toward others. But it leads you back to people that wound you. When you idealize people, they can neglect you or spite you, but at the newest bit of friendliness, they're a great person again. Clearly this is unhealthy and problematic, so I struggled to balance reality and rosy vision.

All humans have good somewhere in them, but this does not make everyone a good person.

This is my conclusion that emerged a few days ago. Things are almost never in black and white. There is always going to be the gray space. People are not all good or all bad. Though it's magnificent to view the positive traits of people, sometimes you have to be realistic and acknowledge the faults, lack of regard, and hurtful tendencies that some people are saturated with.
