People have told me I have an annoyingly positive attitude. My wife, best friends, co-workers, etc. I try and make light of any shitty situation, and a lot of people seem to hate that. My wife even said to me at one point, "Why can't you just get pissed and be mad this one time? Just once!"

I'm with you. Let other people get riled over this or that.

I sometimes wonder whether people who rarely get riled understand that the real pain of life is an underwater current that we swim. We may swim with it or against it; but our knowledge of it keeps us afloat.
