Opt Out of Cynicism

He is right. Optimism is, so far, the best cure for reality. At least the part not under control, so almost all of it. But, you may prefer it in its more elegant form of survivorship bias.

Reality is a harsh mistress. Most have to put on their beer goggles to embrace her.

Just curious, why does reality have to be "cured?"

Living means feeling pain and pleasure, triumph and defeat, love and hate, grief and bliss. I would challenge anyone to prove that you can have any one of those without its opposite.

Borrible, your reality does not have to be feared. You can embrace it. Only then can you experience.

Sweety, were exactly did I say I don't like to fuck with her?

That was probably more in your mind, than in mine.

I do love her because she is the way she is. But then again, I'm not on the losing side.

So, tastes may differ.
