Not the whole world.

I can pretend it's going well. If I weren't realistic.

It isn't pretending, though.

You can be realistic, view the negative positively, and still be sane. That is the middle way. True Neutral.

This thread is going far too fast for anyone to read, so pretty much everyone's saying whatever's on their mind. Like some sort of Gatsby-esque party.

No, Gatsby's parties involve much more sex and alcohol.

That's like claiming you can view the Holocaust positively. No such thing without lying to yourself.

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

That is another thing entirely. There are things that are most definitely negative. Then others, positive. Humans are either, neither, or always between.
