“I’ve found a nice balance between living like someone who has overdosed on delusional optimism and someone who thinks everything and everyone sucks. I can see things as they really are instead of through either rose-colored glasses or crap-colored glasses.”
“That means I can cultivate true objectivity, not the fake cynical kind.
I free myself from negative emotional biases that used to cloud my ability to see the partially hidden beauty all around me.
“At the same time, I’m not addicted to the idea that I should be eternally happy and blithe and sweet.
When the dark moods descend on me, I trust them.
I know they are openings into equally sacred perceptions and insights.”
