The world sometimes seems a little too quick to make sweeping judgements based on levels of superficial attraction.For the best results it needs to be, If you bring too much clarity to a state of confusion, you risk turning it into a state of delusion. It is better by far just to be subtly, quietly sure of some key delineating point. Remember that in the back of your mind, then, gradually, you will find yourself able to sort all the remaining wheat from the rest of the chaff.
'You'll find your happiness lies, right under your eyes, back in your own backyard.' One last quote today, from the old song by Billy Rose and Dave Dreyer, first made famous by Al Jolson. Of course, life isn't quite so simple. We must all be careful not to use such a philosophy as a justification for never widening our horizons. Yet sometimes, there is something wonderful to be said for stopping to appreciate the value and the magic of all that we already have. 
How are any of us supposed to distinguish between good and bad, right and wrong, justified and unjustified? Aren't all our perspectives warped and biased? From where are we ever going to find true, reliable, objectivity? Yet if we have no access to such discrimination, how can we trust a single decision we ever make, to make an allowance,  for the way in which a belief may be preventing the recognition of a reality. If you keep striving for the truth, you may yet manage to find it.
 There is always a strong justification for following traditional methods and applying time-honoured techniques. We could always find a sensible sounding reason to avoid experimentation. But none of this is really very conducive to the pioneering spirit that gives rise to the best potential progress. when you think you have started to focus your vision, you see the fence again. All you are aware of is a barrier, an obstacle or a problem. Hence you swing from one mood to another. This is emotional confusion. You can't decide whether things are wonderful or terrible.
