Idealism.

                                

Why do we the British public obsess over idealism? - it's because as the magnificent Brits we are, we're so  f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ competitive, we're over achievers naturally at heart, were drawn to perfection. 

There's a few reading this shaking their heads 'oh no I'm not this kind of person' - bullshit! Stop kidding yourself. 

Society itself is becoming even more so elite every day that passes. Taking that trip down the supermarket in your lounge clothes day are over, as if men aren't seen primed, groomed and looking straight out of a shop window - and women not lacquered, fresh faced with a polished appearance. - sorry mate even grandma Ethel over there in the cream cake aisle is judging your under prepared  to societies standards. 

Expectations are reeled in from hand selected reality television personalities, ironically though a lot of them are d̶u̶m̶b̶ of the same personality. We now have 12 year old asking their parents for 'vajazzles'!? -what the fuck happened to my little pony?

'Twerking' - when you've seen a kid as young as 5 that can move her ass better than me, I thank god every day I have two boys, because I know I would not be able to handle that shit. 

People of all calibre and 'social classes' seek perfection. 

Whilst there is nothing wrong with wanting to  better yourself/life and be better than ever before, it can also lead you down a long and lonely road of depression, loneliness, gluttony and much more unwanted emotional turmoil.

The unwanted effects generally only seem to come into place when you've either had to much of something and forgotten the people who were there for you, t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶t̶u̶r̶n̶e̶d̶p̶s̶y̶c̶h̶o̶ ̶b̶i̶t̶c̶h̶p̶o̶p̶u̶l̶a̶r̶i̶t̶y̶ c̶r̶a̶z̶y̶ now they're  gone. - or you've put yourself into a debt situation. 

The effects can be devastating! Parents taking loans out to satisfy they're children's wants because they've seen it on television?! Yes I know the element of guilt when it comes to your precious offsprings eternal happiness- meanwhile.. rule of thumb, you can't afford it, don't get it. 

Fashion, lifestyle, attitude, food, physical body, excursions, literature, income, working title, popularity status, social reputation, king of Vodka, queen of the a̶n̶n̶o̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ rubix cube.. The need to be top of the game lists is endless.  

As a nation were never f̶u̶c̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ happy, we'll always seek to be better, do better and strive for perfection, even if we got to our own personal view of perfection, something would reach out and make us want more. Be more. 

Nothing wrong with aiming high, just remember to keep your feet on the ground, a smile on your face and NEVER! Go against your own morals and beliefs, if you forget who you are as a person on your journey to 'perfection' then it was never worth it to start with.

If your seeking other things because somebody else believes its what you should do or your b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶e̶p̶following the crowd, you're lying to yourself and will have failed your 'm̶i̶s̶s̶i̶o̶n̶' goal before you have even started. 

Truly in life the things that are not 'perfect' will be the most rewarding. 

So don't be miserable in hope to find 'perfection', have fun and enjoy what you've got as what brings you joy and laughter and self worth is real perfection.
