Are depressed people more realistic?

[Shell B]

because a realistic person would weigh both sides of the situation, not just the one.

So, an optimistic person like yourself is also unrealistic? I agree with your point, to an extent, though I am of the opinion that there is far more of what we consider unsavory in the world than there is good, which is why we must seek good. I'm just wondering if you see yourself as a realist.
