Redbird_Lefty, I liked your stories of your older sister and the John Hopkins doctor. I also agree on your point about the need for a mentor, or someone who will knock some sense into your head. Maybe equality in details is a devil because it is indeed an ideal, something to aim for but not necessarily achieved.

Pear, don't feel sad. Each person has a path to take, sometimes those are not paths of excellence, or goodness, but they all have a meaningful part to play in our reality. Feel empowered to take some meaningful action to make your chosen ideals a reality even to a small degree and be imaginative. (I smile at nearly all the beggars and homeless who cross my path, because I can't drop them all a coin, most of them seem to be happy to receive just that acknowledgement.)

The power of youth is the courage to do what your elders have not done before. That way we move closer to our ideals. The real world can never be perfect but because we have ideals the world changes for the better.
