Self emulate. That's an interesting turn of phrase. What do you mean by it? How can one emulate oneself?

It's kind of like seeing oneself as a god. Like a person that struts in, but first pauses to look at their self in a mirror vainly seeing their self as what they wish they were but knowing they're not.

Many people see more bad than good in the world around them. For me it depends on which theatre of activity in the public domain that I am looking at. Are we sometimes, through our perspectives and dispositions, guilty of failing to accentuate the positive?

Take a look around the world. How many positive things do you see happening?

Why are you asking me?

Brexit.

It's not unambiguously clear that that's a positive thing.

You've never watched television or listened to talk radio?
