You’re right but some people in really dark places may benefit from a bit of positive delusion. It is when reality is starting to become obscured by it that it becomes a serious problem. I remember being depressed years ago and it’s not that I was irrational but I didn’t see any sense at all and this kind of thing could help in such circumstances. Luckily I got over that and I’m not seeking this type of fluff. Now Im in a good place, married, kids, a lot more reasons to go on but if I think about it, mainly things haven’t changed in the sense that it is still all kind of pointless, it just depends what spin been put on them.

So I think there’s a benefit in having people saying positive stuff even if it’s just meaningless words
