Real World (An Idealist's Philosophy)

Real World (An Idealist's Philosophy)

Hmm, the ?Real? World ? how could such a philosophy exist among false pretense?

This arbitrary term for reality is quite the oxymoron. Why? My reasons are as follows:

1) Propaganda isn?t just a literary term but a ?way of life? for most humans. All societies are influenced by this in some way, even those who refuse to be associated with there government find themselves doing what they are told by those they choose to follow. Whether it?s liberal or conservative ? propaganda is what it is.

2) Religious fundamentalism seems to question spiritual humanity -- it?s self-explanatory

3) The Black Market is thriving more than most economies -- and it?s not just the common people keeping this way *** wink *** wink.

4) People who need to be rehabilitation are sent to prison but those who actual criminals (in a literal sense, not a irrigative sense) get rehabilitation or probation.

5) The portrait of the ?American Dream? (perfect family, ideal job etc.) went from being based on values and hard work ? to being as corrupted as the mentality of those that keep the Black Market thriving.

6) In society, most people put on a false image of who they really are.
For instance, that gangster, who mugged someone may appear aloof and unremorseful -- when in reality SHE could be mentally disturbed.

Another instance, the man who killed his two children and raped his girlfriend may appear to lost control mentality -- when in reality, he just wanted to get rid of three stress aspects in his life. He didn?t want to feel responsible anymore.

7) We live in a time where altering physical looks is just as common as going for a walk.
Breast implants, butt implants, calf implants .. You name, there just may be an implant for it.

8) Image is everything and some? If you don?t look the part, you are then labeled ?not? that part.

Men try to cover their bald spots, women spend money covering their gray hairs so they can look 20, when they are really 40. Men and women who wear suits try it evoke a persona that they are above those who choose to wear jeans and a tee shirt. People buy product after product to try and achieve the standard ?idea?.

And the list goes on ————................

On a lighter note, I could make statements like: The ?world is about as real? as the ?weapons of mass destruction?, those killers water guns* are still waiting to be found 😉

And ?reality? is about has real as all the hype that surrounds ?Osama Bin Laden?, it amazing how this guy to just show out of no where at the right times (with a camera crew I mind you) , but then disappear into then air ?. Hmmm? 😉

On a serious note, the expression ?real world? and the term ?reality? are interchangeable but the meaning behind them are of an idealistic nature. My opinion is much like the quote by Jacques from Shakespeare:

?All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances, And one man (or woman) in his (or her) time plays many parts ?.?

The people who believe in the ?Real World? could truly be the most idealistic ones of all.
