That's fair. In that case, with that reasoning, it seems less like you're being pessimistic and more like you're trying to be realistic. I would caution though, reality isn't ALL negative, though the neutrality and negativity inside of it can always be improved. Heck, even most positives in reality can often be improved.

Personally, I think the Olympics game tends to start when focus becomes too great on one specific aspect, which leads to what is essentially a one upmanship of situational comparison, but that's all I really wanted to poke at.

Thanks for the even response! Sometimes me phrasing stuff like that starts fights even though I only want to poke a little bit. In any case, I hope your day goes well!

Same here.

Good day to you too.
