Do we really need ideals?

Awake in 365 Days says:

There is so much pressure in society to be reaching these impossible ideals that make one feel in the ‘less than’ equation, even in spirituality, there’s this pressure not to be ‘unspiritual’ – your post reminds me of a saying that ‘in heaven all the interesting people are missing’.

Me:

All ideals are impossible, as whatever ideal basically denies what you are now.

Ideal breeds comparison, thus frustration -“less than” kind of equation…
”Less than” entails and calls for an authority -”More than” – to decide what is
worth striving for, worth living or dying for…

Authority can claim to know what´s best for you, and therefore control you only
as long as you belittle yourself giving your power away to it.

Thus, the very idea of pursuing any ideal creates separation, insecurity, sorrow, ultimately violence.

If I am busy to fulfill my ideal, can I ever be entirely open for anyone else?…
Most likely not, as “my ideal” and “yours” can never match each other.
