Alternatively, the notion that "awesome"/"epic"/other positive descriptor is stuff that is extraordinary, is stuff that doesn't happen, is weird/cool/unusual/novel/etc..

    He who laments and can't let go of the past is forever doomed to solitude.

    That is literally what the word means.

    Awesome means inspiring awe, innit? 'Course, if you were awed every other moment, you'd be a nervous wreck of some sort.

    Well it's possible to be one of those people who are constantly high on life, or alternatively, one of those people who feels a gentle and heartwarming sense of wonder everywhere they go.

    There is love everywhere, I already know
    one of those people who are constantly high on life
    one of those people who feels a gentle and heartwarming sense of wonder everywhere they go.
    Those people do not exist, they are a lie made to set up ideals for us to all look up to.

    I mean, it'd be pretty hard to enter a warzone and be either "high on life" or that other thing, unless it was the last ten minutes of a Criminal Minds episode.
