1. Differences between idealists and realists in daily life

1. Ideal and reality

Ideal and reality are a pair of categories in the philosophy of life.

Ideal is the rational pursuit of a better future that people can achieve through struggle.

reality is a realistic thing, that is, something that actually exists.

The dialectical relationship between them:

① Ideal is produced on the basis of reality;

② The ideal is transformed into a new reality through struggle.

In addition, reality and possibility are a pair of categories in universal philosophy.

2. Idealists and realists

People have different attitudes towards ideals and reality, thus forming the dividing line between idealists and realists. To put it simply:

Idealists are people who value the future and pursue their ideals;

a realist is a person who values reality and is practical.

① In the choice of life goals, the idealist's goals are relatively ambitious, while the realist's goals are relatively small. In the university stage, "to get a scholarship and become an excellent graduate" is an idealist; "Long live 6 minutes, as long as you can get a diploma" is a realist. Both of them often cause trouble for teachers.

② In the choice of employment units, the requirements of idealists are relatively comprehensive, while those of realists are relatively simple.

When applying for a job, "that company pays well, but the working environment is not good" is an idealist; "It's easy to spend eight hours if you have a job first" is a realist. The former has a higher rate of job-hopping than the latter.

③ In dealing with marriage problems, idealists have higher demands on their spouses, while realists have stricter constraints on themselves. "My husband takes my official career and takes me to Qingyun" is an idealist; "Marry a chicken with a chicken, and marry a dog with a dog" is a realist. The former spouse often has corrupt behavior.

④ In the process of children's growth, idealists have higher expectations, while realists have lower expectations. In childhood, "children's fingers are very long, and they need to learn the piano …" is an idealist; "It's enough to read and write, but the girl has no great promise" is a realist. The children of the former often bear greater pressure.

Third, dialectically treat ideal (ism) and reality (ism)

There is no absolute idealist, and everyone is faced with the practical problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation;

Without an absolute realist, anyone has at least a concrete ideal of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The purpose of analyzing the difference between idealists and realists is to better unify ideals and reality, improve the quality of life and realize the value of life.
