Once again You posted something very interesting.Thank You for that.
Since I am an elder citizen, I feel like giving some advises and find myself useful. Hopefully. In my experience the best way possible is taking the best from the worst situation.
You should accept bad feelings with gratitude,
because they make you enjoy good in a better mood.
You will never fell good if such a sensation is permanent.
Best regards
You make some excellent points, as usual! Thank you @jaca
