to what end?to destroy the idealism or to feed it? for now I will say childhood's end (works for both)

The Cossacks - Leo Tolstoy

>>7616226
so you think leo was bashing moscow society and telling them "to be as noble as the cossacks"? I read the story as a one about the grass not being greener on the other side and everyone having their own shitiness.

To facilitate growth. My always want more mentality makes me unable to enjoy anything as it comes to me. I just want to relax.
A Sci-Fi novel will take care of this?

Don Quixote, my friend.
Also I know this is /lit/, but you might consider picking up the best-selling manga One Piece, which glorifies idealism and romance.

Are we talking about Idealism the philosophical current or the regular layman meaning?

Those two things don't really correspond to each other; 'constantly searching for better than what he has' isn't idealism, isn't contentment, but is basically the opposite. Anyway, the real target here is the latter statement, and the relevant wisdom literature, if you refuse the Bible, is pic related.

No I agree with you.

>idealistic about life to the point of ruin? Someone who is constantly searching for better than what he has.
Why are you on /lit/ when you have zero reading comprehension?

If you think idealism is "contentment", then you do not understand idealism. Idealism drives to action, senseless and irrational action at that, but action nonetheless.

left wingers = idealism (unrealism, muh feels, fiction)
right wing = REALISM (what is actual, facts, rationality)

There ar 2 spanish speaking philosphers who talk about the idealist asu describe and not the ideologit as they call the idealistic philosophy current''Since one came from ideas and the other from ideals.
The books u can read ar El hombre mediocre, and also the revolt of masses from Ingenieros and the other from Ortega y gasset.

The Great Gatsby is kind of what you're looking for

It's pretty popular and you've probably read it in school, but it's still a patrician book
