Watered-down.
I've always thought that was an adjective of negative connotations. Watered-down ideals are perhaps the most disappointing characteristics a person could ever have. After all, what's the point of having convicitons that will never convict you? What's the point of having ideals that don't need effort to be attained?
I thought about that word for a bit today though, and realised that it isn't all that bad. It can't be, because water is life. Potent, concentrated and hardcore ideals are best to be pursued with a little bit of water; that is, a little bit of the experiences that life teaches us. Because ideals mean nothing if they are not borne out of love and compassion. And all these things combined form the beauty of the human experience.

Ah yeah. I understand and agree with your point. The connotations lang of the term "watered down" are kinda negative. Connotation lang.
