Idealism

“Idealism is good, that’s how you get to realism.”
-Carly S.

This quote was said by a good friend of mine as we discussed the nature of war and how unnecessary the conflicts of the last ten years had been. I said that what was I about to say may be idealistic and this was her response. This to me is beautiful and a perfect example of what I fight for everyday in my role as a social justice advocate and free thinker in a culture that seems intent on oppressing opposing views.
