You're just a regular rejoicer, you are. Everyone loses sleep over the failure of idealism. Nobody likes it when positivity loses and nihilism wins. Everybody wants a happy ending, what's so insane about idealism? The birth of the 20th century saw amazing changes in intellect and society. What devastating disapointment then to observe the results of ideals, on flander's fields. It's enough to make you throw out the baby with the bathwater, you wanna get rid of that bathwater so bad.
