Is your standard for good news (aka a white pill) small or big, personal or societal?

Is it lukewarm acceptance, such as: Humanity is continuing to muddle along and didn't destroy civilization in a nuclear war today, huzzah!

Or is it personal? I got a promotion/laid/new job/won at a tournament, etc..... Life's tough, but I'm doing okay because I made a difference for me.

Or is it metaphysical? Life is suffering due to personal attachments, I am working towards ending my worldly attachment to material possession. Meh.

Granted, people by nature are primed to focus on the negative. There's plenty of bad stuff in this world. Worse, some people are existentially nihilistic and like a cancer they spread their misery to others. They can't handle their own personal powerlessness in the face of overwhelming suffering that has always been the lot of mankind.

But my friends, all this will pass away, and what you do with life echoes through eternity.
