If your option is tell the truth or be a "bummer" then your only being an ass by lying to save others from reality.
Shit sucks but it never gets better if we hide reality away and never speak of it.
It only takes one right person to be bummed out to start a cascade effect that might create meaningful change. Never murder hope before it has a chance to even be born. Even if that means being a "bummer".
I started reading your comment here and formulating a reply in my head about how I was just limiting the scope of my comment and not lying and telling people to cast off responsibility and let Jesus take the wheel, etc.
But then your third paragraph is SO on point that I withdraw any resistance to your message.
