Ideals

It seems to me that the ideals man creates are so motivating. We believe and hope so much that when we finaly reach our destination, then what?

Commonly, comes the diwnward spiral. Disillusionment, when we realize how far the world is from what we hoped it was.

This mirning, though it really struck me how that is the point where our dreamers proved they had the stuff to make it to the core and it is then that they can really be part of making reality better for us all.

Yeah, most of us are miserable failures, but we have such dreams!

I remember being taught that if our (LDS) religion was so marvelous it would naturally produce marvelous things, where is the evidence of that. I came to terms with what happens on that end years ago, but it really does make me think that if mankind can create such an ideal that consumes and motivates it ought to have created an incredible government or something. I mean, if we know how things really are and we are a blessed people then it makes perfect sense that we would use our gift to create something to benefit and teach everyone we love, which is basically everyone, right?

I just seem so many bright eyed and talented superstars start out bright and cheery, but end up depressed and resentful. And it seems that if a thing is less than ideal, make it better, but maybe they try and that is why they feel dispondant...
