I believe that is accurate, and that could be quite a discussion! Whenever I presume -- whenever my ego so arrogantly presumes -- to try to set any kind of standard (with accompanying expectations, of course) either for myself or for anyone else, I end up launching myself right out of reality and on into frustrated instincts leading to depression and despair.
