The way I generally interpret what I read is to take the words and intended meaning literally by default, allowing the overall context to determine whether I should adjust my initial interpretation in order to be in line with the context. What I don't do by default is romanticize the overall meaning of the text just so I can feel better about it.

I understand, but trying to seeing reasons that justify, aren't necessarily romanticizing it.
