I have to give you credit though; your blog, complete with bulleted notes, diagrams, and examples to support your ideas, kicks my blog's ass anyday. For a more serious conversation about which category you fall into, which category I fall into, and the revisions we may need to make to your theory, give me a call. There may be a few shades of grey that were overlooked.

By the way, I am still ahead by about three hundred points.

[A reply comment, particulalry about the point scenario, is both unnecessary and unwarranted, and therefore, will not be accepted through any means other than a verbal conversation and meeting of the minds]

looking at reality may imply admitting to one self harsh truths, stepping away from delusional idealism, which can be quite hard as many times is is avoidance of pain that gears us in the direction of idealism. hence, perhaps one needs awareness that imaginative pain is worst than real pain as with real pain one always have a window of opportunity to act on it, in the present. with imaginative pain there is no real solution as it is mostly fantasy anyways.

to make things a bit more cloudy i must add that true reality is impossible to reach, however, this does not disprove that healthy awareness is the better method. i see it more as the most effective way of achieving success in whatever goals you pursue and actually learning from life rather than living in your own head/dreams/fears – perhaps this point is bit useless but i think we must be compassionate to our selves and humble in that even when trying healthy awareness we are likely to fall into delusions – henceforth, we must double check, we must talk, play with it (whatever it is that one does to clear ones mind and get ideas polished up) and not hold to tight to our views without being afraid of considering an alternative side or a more painful but at the same time more accurate and therefore with greater long term potential for success side. essentially, one needs thought and action with a bit of compassion, hope and excitement
