I googled "giving up hope" and the first link says "Giving Up Hope Makes You Happier", the second is "The Importance of Never Giving Up Hope". So humanity is divided on this one.
Day 1 something interesting happened, even as the whole work day unfolded much like others, I noticed a couple small victories. Then I instantly tried to use those victories to prop up the self-image I want to be true. There was also a humiliation. My self-image is still fighting for its life, to ward off that humiliation. It really hit the shame button. Without this big self-image to protect, it's just a day with a couple small accomplishments and a couple unpleasant moments.
