This pretty much sums up the USA, a bunch of people with severe mental health problems compounding the issue with toxic (and fake) positivity at every turn. More over the second someone is realistic or critical that positivity will turn to rage in a heart beat.

The USA is by far the least mentally healthy place I have ever been.

This is a great argument that entails a test for real positivity as opposed to the fake and toxic kind:

Positivity is true only if realism and criticism are welcomed.

It is the rare (enlightened) being who welcomes criticism.
But, what is realism? What is real?
Harari in his latest book asserts that suffering is the most (and only) real thing. Is it?
