Both the good and the bad in life exist, but it’s your choice what you focus on. It’s not a lie to endeavor to find good in things.That’s not a lie, but it’s still futile.
No it isn’t. If all you can see in life is your shit job and your shit living space, with your shit financial problems and your shit car, then it’s no surprise when people don’t like you if you never have anything nice to say.
