I have the bad habit also of being overly idealistic, I feel your pain. I need to learn to manage my expectations

More like, it opens you up to new opportunities. If you give up all hope, you close yourself off to opportunity.
You stop making an effort to improve your life, because you assume things just won't work out as has been the trend.

Example: you talk to a girl in line at a grocery store. You think she's cute. But you assume she'd never like you. So you buy your groceries and leave and never see her again.

Or, you see it as an opportunity, talk to her, get her number, and maybe get a bone or three out of it at the very least and quite possibly end up marrying her and making babies with her in your quaint three bedroom one and a half bath in Salt Lake City.

That is a profound way of looking at things.
Unfortunately, I would never want to live in Salt Lake City, so I'm not quite sure if it applies to me or not.

I agree with you on that (and about everything you've said).
A lot of the time those sort of things are easier said than done.

You know pain will happen no matter what.
We cannot escape it.

Suffering is however optional.

Just a thought.

Hm. I agree.
So I guess then you can overcome pain, and if you choose not to..its suffering. Yes?
