Finding the right words when discussing things like meaning, significance and scale is not just difficult but literally impossible. There is no correct way to juggle the concept in my mind. Neither pessimism nor optimism are concrete or accurate in their own right. They are simply outlooks that contribute to my ever-growing creation that is reality as I know it. My own world, one of billions that humanity will experience. The least "objective" thing that could ever happen. Input, integration, output.
What I'm trying to say is I don't like how charged these kinds of statements are. It's saddening to see someone make such a gorgeous level and express their feelings only to be bashed because people disagree with the sentiment or think the sentiment is poorly expressed. It's extremely clear to me how well-intentioned these words are, but that doesn't matter because the intention wasn't clear to others and I think that's kind of the point here. We aren't arguing about the truth here, we're assuming the outlook of another person and being downright rude about it. I understand wanting to help someone from a potentially harmful outlook but I see nothing of the sort in these reviews. You can disagree all you want with what you believe their outlook to be—even I don't align with Pb207's word choice—but you will never be right or wrong. I just wish there wasn't so much hostility.
