I think it's a basis for most (if not all) of the worlds religions/philosophies and ideologies - the childish indignation felt when the world isn't what you expect or want it to be. We may all accept reality eventually but deep down is the unresolving feeling that things are not what they ought to be or should be. Hence the whole nonsense of Earth being a 'fallen' place etc...
I'm pretty sure most of those feelings could be resolved by some serious psychotherapy...
The world, life in general, none of it is ever going to be exactly the way we want. It's impossible - at least that's the way I see it. Horrible as it may sound, if someone has that hope festering, I say get over it and move on.
Freud would have had a field day with the individual you described.

That's too cute, and actually reminds me quite a bit of my baby brothers. =]

Hannah said: Freud would have had a field day with the individual you described.
If you want to follow that thought you *definitely* need to read 'The Future of an Illusion' by Sigmund Freud.
I haven't read The Future of an Illusion, yet. It is on the list though. I've been working through his Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis lately.
