The difference seems to be that you have learned your lesson.

Ideals are great things to have. Unfortunately, real-life requires compromise if you actually want to see any of your ideals come to fruition. Some of us are unwilling to compromise, and so are always disappointed. In some cases, one has to wonder if they cling to that disappointment.

Some of us understand that real change takes time and a great deal of patience.

I don't care what you did in the past. I only care about what you do in the future.
