What are you waiting for?
Do you know why one single idea has never worked for 100 % of the people in the world? Because people are all uniquely different in so many ways that even though we may share some of the same ideas with some people, we dont 100 % agree on a way to do things in life. If we did, the world would be a boring place and we would all be robots.
Idealists are annoying to me for this reason, they have no concept or open mind to do something in a way other than the way they think it ought to be done, and thus refuse to see any other opinion other than their own as even a possibility of being correct. Most idealists, think they know everything when they've experienced very little in life. BTW don't make that argument directly to them, they think they've experienced all life has to offer. The thing Idealists try to do is change the world, and not themselves, they dont like an aspect of something, so the whole system that drives it has to come crashing down. Idealists have never changed anything, ever. DOERS change things, they work the world immediately around them to make their lives better, often times changing themselves in the process. If a good idea floats along from the doer that many other people seem to like, cultures and community change, mostly for the better (there are always exceptions of course).
Its great to be intelligent and even question certain things about the world, but concepts, ways of the world, and general normalcies of human interaction have been the same for eons for a reason. That reason is because it accomodates the most amount of people at any one point in time. To be able to change the world, you must not only be able to have a good idea, but implement it into your surroundings and influence others around you. Idealists don't have the inner-drive to change the world around them. Einstien was not an idealist. Edison, was not an idealist. Tesla, was not an idealist. Even america's founding fathers were not idealists. They were all DOERS. They all saw something they could change about their current environment and worked their asses off to change it, some even giving their lives in the process.
Yet, not all of their ideas worked to perfection. More DOERS came along, saw the environment they created, found a way to improve it, and worked THEIR asses off to make the changes they wanted to happen. As is the norm in the way of the world, the good ideas and changes spread like wildfire, having their own unqiue twists in individual communities.
An Idealist, never works for the change they want, they only complain about what's NOT working in the current systems claiming some sort of imbalance in fairness, failing to see why the systems in place work in the manner they do. Which leads me to my last point about fairness.
Things being "fair" in the world , is a sucker's farce. There has been no point in time where the world since the beginning of its existence (going back as far as you want, either biblical or evolutionary), has been fair. There have always been superior and inferior elements, counterbalanced by other superior and inferior elements, no matter what you look at in the world. None of those elements are fair in the slightest, theres always a push and pull, "tug of war" aspect to everything in life.
Fairness, is a political tool, used by those on a losing side of an argument or issue, to get the winning side of that argument to back down, and in the process, lose the argument or issue. Those who fall for fairness are of a weak mind. Those who attempt to use fairness as a tool to "win the day" are crafty and devious and usually target weak minded individuals they dont happen to agree with. Fairness is the epic failure of idealism and politics, 2 things tied, hand in hand.
How do we resolve such basic differences in human beings? The short answer is, we dont. We live our lives in a way to make ourselves, and the ones we love, happy. In that process if we happen to do something great to change the world, that's awesome. If we dont do something that changes the world, we can leave it with the comfort we lived a good life doing everything we could for ourselves and our loved ones.
I hope every Idealist that sees this, reads it all carefully and takes it to heart, because I'd love for them to be happy too, just not at my expense.
