On one level, this has an appealing certain kind of logic. But in practice I've found this leads to depression and cynicism.

Cynicism or realizm? Sometimes its really hard to tell because the people that call You cynic are often lost in their idealizm.

And I believe that depression in this situation means that You are simply still expecting too much.

Not my experience at all. It leads to joy and happiness when things go better than I expected. Also, I never stop working on improving things. There is always a chance that things are actually better than I expect.
