Need an argumentative essay on Unrealistic ideals. Needs to be 2 pages. Please no plagiarism.

So often, we find ourselves inside a trap we ourselves have created. I believe that each person has established a set of standards of how things should go based on our own perception of perfection. Each of us wants things to work the way we envision them to be-we all want to have perfect relationships where we are socially acceptable and desirable. However, we often find ourselves grappling with the reality that our lofty ideals can never be more than just a dream and standard. And that's where our struggles begin.When setting up our ideals, we often envision that people around us will contribute to their attainment. Recounting the story of Clint in "The Kind of Light that Shines on Texas," what he most wanted is to be accepted and equally treated as whites. Yet, he is black and no matter what he does, racism is a fact of life which can never be avoided. In the same manner, Cleofilas in "Woman Hollering Creek" dreamed of the ideal relationship with his husband, where she is adored, provided, and cared for. Yet, she's slapped with the reality that marriage is not a bed of roses but the ultimate test of endurance. These examples shed light that so often, individuals face failures and hardships no matter what they do because they cannot control the entire situations much less the people around them. Instead of blaming it to the other people in the story, I realized that these failures occur because of Clint and Cleofilas setting of highly unrealistic goals amid life's bitter realities.
