It all has to do with perspective. When one is brought up in the South expressions such as "Well bless your heart" can translate into "Are you bat shit crazy?" or "I wouldn't believe you if you tied it up in a bow" up North. Kindler gentler. My picture of turtles on a log could be "oh how nice they're sunning themselves, the whole family" and another's "yum turtle soup."
Or "you uneducated troll" could actually be I'm not winning my argument. The glass is half full or the bottle of milk has half an inch of milk left so I'm not responsible for the empty carton that gets put back in the refrigerator. The house could use some dedicated cleaning or it looks "lived in". "I have to drive in this Mother Nature endowed white, slippery mess or "Yay, snow day, where's my sled!"
I am guessing that those who see rainbows instead of rain, sunny mornings instead of traffic pollution, sky scrapers kissing the clouds rather than shadows and caging in quarantine as opportunities, lovingly misguided as they are, are probably happier than most.
So find yourself a log and enjoy the sun.
