Kind of an insulting comment Karl, but you're partially right. I
certainly have a cynical view of many things and I know it. It's not
from an inability to look past things, but from a sense of experience.
But (and it's my but to use not yours to dismiss) I do find enjoyment
in a number of things.

One of those things is the woodworking I do. It's limited in the fact
that I do it on a work bench in my living room. I'm unable to find an
accessible location near my home that I can share or rent to set up a
better workshop. That's the fly in the ointment since I've been
looking for some place for well over fifteen years.

I mention this on occasion mainly to remind people that I am looking
for some place should they happen to know of one. And, the fact that
I'm always looking demonstrates that I am able to look past the fray
for something better.
