Don't you think it is hard to keep that idealism? It's hard WORK. It requires a lot of commitment and energy. I was a radical idealist when I was young, then I got tired, and a lot less radical (just because of fatigue and the feeling that I wasn't accomplishing much) now I've got my second wind, and I've come to realize that I can't know what I am accomplishing. So I am back to being a radical, because it's what I am, and I don't worry about seeing the results, as long as I am doing my best to live liberally and idealistically, according to my own principles. It's easy to be a liberal and idealistic in youth- most kids are- because they haven't accreted possessions around them yet, possessions which will eventually possess them. If possessions change you into a conservative- than you were never a real idealist or liberal. You were just a conservative waiting for your possessions to come along and own you.
