One of the topics we covered this week was the ideas of realism versus the ideas of Idealism. To get straight to the meet of this post, I would definitely side myself on the side of realism. The biggest reason I have trouble agreeing with what idealist believe is that I have a hard time believing in a God; however, I believe that being an idealist is probably the better way to live. Since the idealist believes that people are flawed copies of the divine, they can strive to become better people all the time. They can be happy in knowing that they are not meant to be perfect because being perfect means that you would be divine which is obviously impossible. Though my views as a realist take the skeptic out of me. I tend to refuse to believe things are possible, and often doubt my own abilities at most times. It seems that I would be more suited for the beliefs of an Idealist, but my ideals as a realist refuse to let myself accept their philosophies.
