Precision is a valuable trait. It’s good to make that distinction. That’s pretty much the way i feel too. But that’s another distinction: different isn’t necessarily always better. I just want things to be better… and not “just better,” but “better-enough,” and in specific ways. It’s the probability that things will never be better (enough), which leads me to believe that perhaps i should just quit, instead of enduring further years of increasing suffering, for the sake of an impossible achievement. Suffering for the impossible, is not something i’m willing to live for… at least, not in the absence of significant personal benefit.

I feel the same way…
