Well, to me life is about moments.

Everyday is not going to be an extravaganza of emotion and action. In fact, some parts of life are stupefyingly boring, inane, meaningless.

however, interspersed in that fumbling drudgery there can be moments of absolute perfection. Fleeting moments of joy, appreciation or contentment.

It's our job to attempt to create those moments or at the bare minimum recognize them when they pass through.

No, you are not jaded, just perhaps realistic.
