Axioms of Optimism

Realize what a negative person does to slow everyone down to conform to their own comfort-zone.  Listen to them, but don't let that energy cripple you too much.  For some reason, other peoples' success bothers these people because they need to feel like they're winning with what they got, always.

[Ziran]

"Ideas are like a salad bar."

[Ziran]

"The tallest ladder is simultaneously descending the deepest depths."

[Ziran]

"God gave you a backside so they can watch you while you walk away."

[Ziran]

"It wasn't missing till someone started looking for it, and it's always found in the least expected places."

"When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, traps the back of your head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues... you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that:  "Yessir, the check is in the mail."

I'd object, but, I can't while retaining my optimism.

Axioms of Optimism:  Moral Quandary Edition

 

Friends,

Suppose there's a married couple.  One of them is a cheat in the bedroom.  The other is a cheat in the boardroom.  Suppose both parties are well aware of each other's faults.  IOW, they knew each other very well prior to the engagement.

 

Further, suppose that during the marriage one of them cheated in the bedroom.

 

? If cheating in the bedroom is condoned in this case, does that imply consent for cheating in the boardroom?  If so, is it in equal proportion or in perpetuity? Something in between?

Help a brother out.

Bonus points for including a link to an optimistic song.
