Why there is a Gap between ideal and real?

Why there is a Gap between ideal and real?

Ideally a child is asked to speak truth.
However, in reality, when the same child grows old he does not dare to speaks truth.
Ideally a child is asked to be high on moral conduct, everywhere.
However, in reality, when he grows old he doubts moral conduct of everyone.
Ideally a child is asked to not live in the dream world.
However, in reality, he is asked to dream big, to gain positivism in life.
Ideally, child is asked to not use corrupt practices, anywhere.
However, his own near and dear ones, practise corruption at many places.
Ideally, everyone and every specie are Equal on this earth.
However, in reality human beings are more favourite to live on this earth.
Ideally, everything has to be finished on time.
However, unless it becomes favourable to few, no project finds an ends.
Ideally, all should be trusted for their code of conduct.
However, now a day, no one seems to be trustworthy.
Ideally, man comes to live a happy life on earth.
However, you hardly find any man living happily forever.
Ideally, there should not favouritism but merit.
However, in reality it is favouritism that rules everywhere.
Ideally, Soul comes here for salvation.
However, temptations and bodily senses, makes it difficult, to attend that state of salvation.
Ideally, there should be peace on earth, all the times.
However, there is nothing but noise, in and out of mind of everyone, on this earth.
Ideally, humanity is one.
However, in reality plurality rules.
Few things everyone knows ideally.
Few things no one knows in reality.
I don't know why we allow to keep this gap in reality and an ideal.
However, I know, unless we bridge this gap, humanity cannot live happily forever.
The major reason to say so is
If this gap widens bigger
It will increase bad practises on earth
It will make life unlivable
It will lead to total destruction of mankind.
Hence, it is a challenge, opportunity and compulsion to remove this gap forever
To sustain the human life in this Cosmos, otherwise humanity will die its own death.
This time we are creating our own downfall, not other entities.
Better we realise early to bridge the Gap between ideal and real life.
