Character of life

Life, as I suppose most people would attest, is a mixture of the good and the bad. People might disagree about whether its character is mostly good or mostly bad, and certainly different people find themselves in different circumstances, and the same person in different circumstances over time, so that whether or not life is mostly good or mostly bad might depend on these circumstances, or else depend on one’s, as it were, natural outlook (which might itself have various causes, if it is caused by something). There may be, in short, no way to say whether life is mostly good or mostly bad. Or lots of ways to say either at any given time. Now it’s October.
