u are wrong,idealists see the present as bleak and that the future can always be better,they are always chasing that "ideal" fantasy which will never become reality.for example the "swiss standard of living",however the reality differs greatly from their expectations,hence they will always be disappointed and discontent.such is the miserable fate of an oppie.
sinkies however are realists,they understand the reality and choose to live in the present,they know that many dangers lie beyond the shores of this island and there are many threats that could take their rice bowl away,but fortunately PAP is here to protect them.Sinkies are grateful for what they have and count their blessings,for as long as there are the 7 k's kopi,kaya,kuyu,karaoke,kio kway, they are a happy and contented lot,and they embrace the wisdom of their mps "you can choose to be happy"
I am happy with my life.
But I choose to be unhappy with lhl and the pap. Can?
