This is the reality.
It was not anticipated.
It is not ideal.
But there you have it.
This is the current situation.
The present predicament.
Warts and all.
This is it!
It can’t be hidden anymore.
Or swept under the rug.
It is now all out in the open.
Reality has arrived.
If you don’t like it …
… then it’s time to create a new one.
“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.” – William A. Ward
“To think in terms of either pessimism or optimism oversimplifies the truth. The problem is to see reality as it is.” – Thich Nhat Hanh
