Hello, first I would like to say I hope this is the right section, and if not please move to the right one.

So this post is mainly in regards to the train of thought and attitude, towards life, of being able to see the tiniest sliver of good in an ocean of bad, and that tiny sliver is supposed to be enough, to keep on going and/or have happiness.

But I don't really understand why, for life, that tiny little 1% (sliver) of good, is supposed to be enough, and trump the 99% (ocean) of bad... but then with something like say, a relationship, you could have like 25% (far more than a sliver) good even, and 75% bad, and that 25% would mean hardly anything compared to the 75%, and it would be considered justified and reasonable to end/want to end the relationship.

So like... my only/main thought here I guess is just is this just essentially a matter of 'comparing apples to oranges' ultimately? I mean, why is 1% good enough to continue and be happy in life, but in something like a relationship, that 1% good would essentially mean nothing (or like I said even a good 25%) and the 99% or 75% bad would trump the good by a longshot?
