You know who I'd like to be like?? Reiner. Yes, Reiner, the 60 something man in our extended family. He may very well be the most "positive" person I have met. When you ask how he is, he says "GREAT" in such a genuine tone, you really wonder what makes him this happy. (OK, and yes, he looks cute and cuddly too, and seems to be kind as well)
..and I can't accept that he's not smart enough to have thought about existential questions. I'm sure he has. He's just managed to stay balanced. I don't think he will ever know this (let's hope he won't!!), but he really is an example I'd like to follow. A man with a big, honest smile, and yes, some German accent to top it off...
Once this pain, this damn real pain, goes away, I aspire to be like Reiner. I think I will, because some where deep in me, there is this sensation that, as if from underneath a bunch of comforters(!!), peaks its head out and sings:
Falak raa saghf beshkaafim o tarhi no dar andaazim...

I think you WILL be like him!
It might help you to know that he makes a point to have the attitude that he has. So, you are on the right track.
