Where does the Idealist temperament come from?

[acd]

What conditions create the Idealist temperament?

Have any pet theories?

Or, thinking about yourself, what in your upbringing shaped the motivations and priorities you have?

It comes from another dimension, a sick and twisted one...

Well it helps that both of my parents are NF's.

And you know I think the fact that I was isolated as a kid amplified some of my NF-y characteristics. And the fact that I grew up around intuitives

In conclusion...ramble...ramble...ramble

It comes from being one with the cosmos! ^^

I think that aesthetics, the feeling of being different, existential and philosophical thinking spur idealism.

hmmm.....

I think for me, it comes from seeing the big picture, and everyone's sides within it.

If I had the chance to rule the world, I idealistically believe that I could run it with love, try and encourage others to do the same, thus have less conflict and more harmony...

ridiculously idealistic indeed
