Some people argue that to be romantic is better for a better life. Because they believe that to be romantic can help for people to forget difficulties in a real life as dreaming. However, I strongly argue that people should be realistic rather than romantic in order to live a better life. And this arguments can be supported several reasons as follows. First of all, to be realistic can be very helpful in bad situation to make people think of various ways to solve problem. It means that romantic people might have a trouble to cope with problems. A study by a researcher in Brown University can prove this idea. In this study, a researcher gathered two groups, one of them was the group of people who were very realistic and the other was the group of people who were very romantic. The researcher estimated the points of ability of two groups to solve problem in their life, which was be numbered. And it was found that the group who were realistic got higher points than the other group in the assessment. Consequently, this study shows us realistic sense is more helpful for people to solve troubles for people to come up with solutions. In this respect, it makes sense that to be realistic is good for a better life. Secondly, to be romantic can make people too much idealistic. It would make people harder to apply to a real life. To support this idea, I can refer the example of my older sister. She was used to be very romantic in every situation. She had always liked to dream. Surely, dream is a kind of a power for people to live their lives. But, her romantic sense made her grades very rude in high school. The reason was that instead of studying hard, she was used to like to dream very far future. It was not be very helpful for her to study hard and apply to her real life as a student. Now, she is an university student. However, she always says to me that she ruined her high school score due to the overflowed romantic sense, whenever I meet her. This example clearly demonstrates the idea that romantic people can be harder to apply to a real life. Eventually, it is pretty much safer to say that people should be realistic in order to live for a better life. In conclusion, I firmly claim that people should be realistic rather than romantic for a better life. This idea can be supported by two reasons as I mentioned above. Of course, a definition of a better life can be different depending on each person. Nevertheless, it seems obvious that for a better life, people should not stay only in the circle of romantic sense. |
