A Pragmatist creates a practical reality that is based on experienced fact.
A Romantic creates an imaginary reality that is based on fiction.
Pragmatists & Romantics are both trapped within a dual reality world of fact or fiction, truth or untruth, embroiled in a battle between the rational mind and the emotional heart.
A Pragmatist believes that ideals are unattainable in their experience and to be Idealistic means having high ideals, which is being romantic.
A Romantic believes that an ideal world only exists within their own imagination and to be Idealistic means facing reality, which is being pragmatic.
A Realist believes in the literal truth, whereas a Romanticist prefers literal fantasy and fiction.
A Pragmatist believes in the practical truth and makes that fact a reality, whereas a Fantasist believes their reality to be a fact.
The Truth is that neither being Pragmatic nor being Romantic is a Realism that allows my Self to Realise my own Ideal Reality in a Realistic way.
