Ideal,Real and Dialectics


For Hegel dialectics is the conflict between the ideal and real. This conflict, he says,  leads to change.

Conflict between ideal and real. Yes that is what it is. Ideal: riches and comfort. Real: bonded labour and stress. Change: in progress

Ideal and real. It takes ages to understand the difference between them. Most of the time we are so convinced that the ideal is real that reality lands a sucker punch right into your gut. Then you change.
