I think an interesting aspect of generalized life perspective is how everyday feelings are labeled in Europe versus the US. Less PC boolsheet, less games. Ya might casually ask somebody how they're doing and they might just drop some like like: "Man, I've got explosive diarrhea and my wife was a real crab last night, whew!" on ya.
I know that in... oh, let's say France... a lot more people will tell you that they're just having a normal day. So-so, even. Not necessarily good, or awesome, or great-thanks-for-asking. Or maybe they're having a bad day and it is perfectly acceptable. I think that it is noteworthy that having a bad day in the US is actually a negative thing. I wanna embrace the philosophy that bad days are okay and they're okay because they make good days good.
I mean, they can't all be good. Why do we act as if they should be all good?
If ya plotted life on a line graph... perhaps it would be like the tides as it progressed along time. Gentle rolls in and out, up and down... with the high points and low points marking particularly deep but narrow spikes in emotion or fate or whatever.
