The Big Balls Daily

We hear a lot about the word ideally, but do we really understand what ideally means? By definition, the Merriam Webster Dictionary says “conformably to or in respect to an ideal” & “in accordance with an ideal or typical standard”. What then again is an ideal you ask?

Main Entry:

IDEAL

Function:

adjective

1: existing as an archetypal idea2 a: existing as a mental image or in fancy or imagination only; broadly : lacking practicality b: relating to or constituting mental images, ideas, or conceptions3 a: of, relating to, or embodying an ideal <ideal beauty> b: conforming exactly to an ideal, law, or standard : perfectideal gas> — compare real 2b(3)4: of or relating to philosophical idealism

Wait a minute, so then my ideal may be different from your ideal? Yes, it makes sense because no 2 people should think the same way, for example my boss may be thinking, “IDEALLY, all workers should report to work on time and be willing to put in extra hours.” Whilst the employees will think, “IDEALLY, we should be getting paid more and the boss should get off my ass!” see that’s an example of conflicting ideals right there. There is no perfect conditions and nothing in the world is perfect, even roses have thorns and celebrities have cellulite

If I was living in my perfect world, there would be no diseases, people would be living forever, Osama would have been found, Mas Selamat would still be behind bars, John would actually like girls, Kurt would be less funny and I would be more handsome. But these things do not happen, the word “IDEALLY” is just a selfish proposition for the whole world to follow the IDEALS set out by the ruling power and my girlfriend!

(Idealism at work)

Please people; stop using this word because it is stupid and selfish and you have to admit it is pretty oppressive to make it sound like someone should be doing the right thing by following your ideal. Well, ideally, my words would actually move people.
