All a bit philosophical and surreal, but I just want to understand this.
Totally agree. I guess what I’m saying is if we are 80% there, we should accept the 80%, and keep looking for the other 20%.

But, and this is very important, I don’t think we should accept things that are not right for us just because acceptance is easier than change. If I had decided to accept things as they were back in 2016 life would have been dull, but nothing wrong with accepting life as it is now, even if it s not perfect as you rightly point out. Like, 80/20 is ok to accept for me, but not 20/80
