It's easy to be caught up in a wave of pessimism when things don't go one's way. The world is imperfect, and by following one train of logic, the world is filled with imperfect beings. From there, one can infer that the imperfect being is oneself.
Reviewed word today - saw a re-run of the "The Big Bang Theory" where Sheldon Cooper uses the word weltschmerz - the melancholy feeling that stems from seeing one's imperfections and the imperfections of the world as reflections of one another.
I am not about to be taken in by that kind of feeling. That's the sure way to failure and oblivion.
"The only unbearable thing is that nothing is unbearable.”
― Arthur Rimbaud
