Welcome to the human race Fren.
Take solace in knowing your shortcomings. A wise man is always honest with himself fist.
The aspect of being Honest with one's self seems to have hit a nerve with you. You should
ponder why you are hostel towards that idea.
People are often triggered by things they themselves struggle with by refuting ideas that aid in their own self awareness. Change is tough.
Many people are having a rough time of it all. I see no reason to down play or discount positive aspects in peoples lives when all they might be able to see now from their perspective is the negative closing in around them.
So if helping people to see the positive is "codswallop" as some call it what does that say about their reasons for being here other than to create more negativity. Making counter statements without deeper context is juvenile.
Stay tight FRENS , the ride isn't over.
