Idealists and the never ending trials of time

The world is a very practical place and  idealists are hardly suited for long term survival here. The world has called them lunatics, freaks, a threat to society, some were even blamed to be anarchists. Yet the reality of today was once a dream of some lunatics, fully committed to their cause, to their ideal.To achieve any major goal a bit of madness is required. Mere mortals they may seem yet their spirit has an element of immortality, it is like an indestructible element that never goes away. This is may be God's gift to them a quality of immortality, though in the minutest proportion, yet enough to change the ways considered as norms by society. But even after gaining so much from the madness of these lunatics, society still persecutes them. Every new age has its on trial for these so called lunatics.But whenever we aim for a task, whose magnitude instills a fear in us, we look for examples, examples of these mad men, these people truly committed to their ideals.

  We all want examples because they inspire us... help us believe that the dwindling light deep within us is capable of lighting the path beyond the realm of darkness. Yet those people who became examples, i like to think never thought about looking for examples... they just knew their light will fight the darkness and guide them through and just started walking. With each step arose a fear of the unknown and the path filled with sharp edged rocks of reality yet they walked and though most the stories have ended in tragedy or failure, yet i still believe that they succeeded. As i once said, an idealist , may never be able to withstand the trial of time and society. Because he/she is but mere bones and flesh and a mortal existence. Yet if the idea they perished for lives on in us even today, then that is the most fitting response by an idealist to the trials and inquisitions of time and society. A testimony to their success which gets covered by dust of the hardships and calamities they had to endure. Not every end is as well scripted and acted out as in movies, this is life and the trials of time and society still are as unwavering as ever. And so are the lunatic idealists, unwavering and committed to their cause as ever. And to the day this spirit lives on, dreams of today would become the world of tomorrow yet in every age to come society will still have the same non acceptance for these idealists, because in the world of today they show us the visions of tomorrow!
