The Ideal - Do you get it or be it?
Stand-Alone Dreamer | 6 July 2004, 12:31amThis is an interesting distinction, one which always seems to exist:- of people who worry about and strive to be good enough, and those who worry about having enough. (someone might want to portray this as a battle between the self-perfectionists & the hedonists)
It seems more women worry about being good enough themselves (for example so many focusing on their weight), and more men worry about having enough (for example, feeling that they "always deserve" a beautiful women, or at least focusing more on wanting one than on their own worthiness).
It isn't a total dichotomy always, of course; everyone is some sort of combination. Judging by your actions, senses of empowerment, and regrets, do you want to be 'your ideal' one, or do you want to have 'the ideal' one? Do you know why..do you like your reasoning?
Most of the times I want to be my ideal..to be happy with what I'm doing ..to be able to think well of myself. That gives me considerable control over myself, and makes me second guess my social interactions..Generally it makes me confident..
..albeit the fact that having my ideal too would just be the icing on the cake ;-)
