At what point do you stop chasing idealism and accept reality for the way it is?

In Episode #378 of 'Musings', Juan and I discuss: the current problems I'm having with dating and v4v support, ways in which being all or nothing is helpful, the impossibility of solving governance and interpersonal relations, why you have to let your ideals go and make some concessions, how being too 'unique' is hurting me and Juan's body not being able to keep up with his mind.

A huge thanks to Dave Jones and McIntosh for supporting this week. We accept the reality of your support!
