Must one presume that being one means not being the other?
A false choice I'd think Jess...
Candidly, I think the more realistic one is, and the more one accepts reality, the happier and more optimistic one will become.
I will die some day. Death holds no fear for me. My sins have been forgiven. I will live forever in the light of God's love. I have dealt with the reality of this life and the one to come.
I'm
very optimistic. <g>
Best,
