Idea Vs. Ideal

  • March 17, 2021, 9:43pm

"ideal" can be found in "As Bill Sees it" pg 172 'This Matter of Honesty' Stated as "Only God can fully know what absolute honesty is. Therefore, each of us has to conceive what this great ideal may be." Or, as another stated, it means as another has stated, it means something that is perfect or close to perfection" This makes sense then.

Apparently this was extracted from "Letter, 1966"
I am currently trying to find its meaning. I gather it is another way to right 'idea?'

I think I have an understanding of ideal now. Thanks guys (and gals.)
