The world we live in is not only a world of beauty, of ecstatic experiences (more or less self-induced) or of a smile displayed on any occasion. A "normal" person has joys, sorrows, fulfillments, disappointments, upsets and successes, he goes through periods of ups and downs, and all these are part of the journey called life. A forced smile and an approach in which all self-induced emotions are "pink" is a form of neurosis, in which the psyche defends itself from "reality" in a childish and immature way. Similarly, when everything is "gray", the perception of life is truncated and subjective. Objectivism, realism and positivism are the ingredients that make existence one in which you have the right attitude to successfully overcome everything that life throws your way and to invest your energy in trying to make your life as beautiful as possible. Things are exactly as they are, no more, no less. It doesn't make any sense to make things worse than they are by inducing negative emotional experiences (frustration, anger, depression, victimization, despair, etc.) and it doesn't make sense to deny reality by trying to "tie it with a pink bow" ". Be rational, don't get attached to either positive or negative experiences (because they will all pass anyway), try to find solutions and act when things aren't exactly ok - and thus overcome the "negative" as quickly as possible ", maximize the positive moments and be prepared for anything, always living in the present.
