It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.
Anne Frank
To keep your ideals means that you believe in them. I have always admired people who hold onto their ideals and do everything to preserve them. Living without ideals means living in a chaotic world. Your life becomes chaotic and messy.
Anne Frank is a great example of this. She lived during a time of war when people were struggling to stay alive, survive annihilation, find a bit of food, and secure shelter. Despite all this, she remained committed to holding on to her ideals.
Why? Because she believed that people "are really good at heart." How could she see the goodness in people’s hearts when humanity was involved in two catastrophic wars? This speaks volumes about her character.
I admire this young lady. Her life ended tragically, but her Diary continues to inspire many people.
