ideal vs realistic

when we are young, we are mold to be an ideal person to leave in this realistic world. 'Moral Values' are force down our throat by parents, teachers and all other adults. BUT, they themselves are not very much ideal as we think they are. tones on examples can be given, i shall quote a few.

salesman at the door.
ideal world
salesman at the door calling, and we answer. then we go out and hear what salesman want to sell. if we are interested, we will buy from him. if we are not, we say 'no thank you' and salesman reply 'okay', thanks for listening' and everyone happy
realistic world
salesman at the door calling. we hear calls, act nothing happen. sales man continue calling. we start thinking all the scams reported. get-rich-scam, pyramid scam, scratch and win scam, ABC scam, XYZ scam. Or you fear being hypnotist, being 'pukau' and then rob and then killed. Or you think the person outside is an alien, trying to get you out and then abduct you and turn you into a specimen. salesman continue calling. we cannot tahan already, go out shout at him 'what do you want?? i am not interested' salesman keep on explaining... we go release dogs(if we have) take the garden hose and drench salesman while 'sing' all the 4 letter words out. Salesman run away angry, we walk back into our house unhappy.


public transport (taxi, bus, plane, ferry, etc, etc, etc,)
ideal world
transport come. everyone line up properly, wait for passengers to come down, then give way to those needed first (elderly, handicap, sick, with babies, pregnant) then slowly we board in a single lane, pay our fairs(if needed) to the respective persons, sit quietly or maybe have some light conversations with the person next to us. If its our stop then, get up and leave and maybe thank the driver or conductor on the way out. we happy, driver happy.
realistic world
you run in front of the line, don't care whether there is an old lady there, a guy on whealchair or a 7 months pregnant mother. then you stand there like nothing is wrong. then when public transport arive, you rush up the vehicle, without waiting for people to come down. if you are stuck there, you start shouting " OI!! MASUUUK!!! MASUUUUUK!!!!" and piss everyone in the transport and outside the transport. then you find yourself a nice 2 empty seat place and sit. You the put all your other stuff( if you have) on the other empty seat and act nothing is wrong. If you don't have any, you sit directly in the middle. When people ask you to move whether is a elderly, handicap, sick, with babies, or a 7 month pregnant lady, you act fall asleep and don't care their cries. If on bus, you will stare ate everyone, thinking all of them will start coming for your and rob you at knife point. for girls, fear of being rape and molested makes you into defensive mode, producing a fierce face as if they had kill your whole family. If taxi's in the case, fear of the price being jacked up, being drive to an unknown destination and then rob, kidnap, rape, being photograph naked, and then blackmail cause you to stare at the driver with the pepper spray in hand ready to spray him at any point. when you reach your destination, you leave the vehicle, throwing your fair at the driver as if coming in contact with him will spread some kind of deadly disease and without saying anything because you think its their job to send you safely. Through out the whole journey, you keep wondering whether the driver is a certified one, or got their license trough black market. then you also wonder, how many people he killed before and will you be the next victim? you happy, other people unhappy.
