Idealization is a form of an emotional state when you love or adore someone, you mistakenly believe that he/she has way more positives compare to negatives.

You may idealize a druggie, believing that other than the drug abuse pattern of that person, he is actually amazing. You believe that actually he could be very successful, handsome or calm. This is one of the most common moronic idealization example of our popular culture.

OR you may idealize and fall in love with a girl who has been victimized in her entire life and the world treated her so unfairly, thats why she is so miserable and disfunctional in her daily life. You may want to believe that, she actually could be an amazing princess. NO, moron. She has a pattern of living that way, and even if nobody treats her that way, she will create that environment for herself by attracting dramatic negative energy around her and its not even a conscious process.

Summarized : Idealization is a powerful drug.
A: Hey Kelly, I heard that your boyfriend cheated on you again then he instantly apologized and you have forgiven her for 13th time. ... Again. Whats up with that?
K: Look, He is an amazing guy, but he just has a high sexual appetite, ok? He is smart and funny and alittle bit dorky. I love him no matter what he does and I can live with it..
A: That's good. Keep doing it. You are high on idealization rAtard.

To believe that anything is possible. To be awakened to the pure & raw potential each moment has seeded. To water that seed. To believe in the Great mystery.

A deepwoods word sometimes used mistakenly in place of Idea.
Distant kin of this person may also use the word Idear.
