Alice quoted the movie Lantz because it illustrated the point eloquently. And who are you to point fingers at people?, you have admitted to following entire fictional character's beliefs and in that very paragraph you just noted how your philosophy is heavily infuenced by fiction. Do you even know the definition of hypocrite? I suggest you look in a mirror if it eludes you.
Lantz you have been through depression yeah that's sad and all, you're not the only one who went through that. It isn't a get out of logic free card. Then again I assume you also ascribe to "ignorance is bliss". Idealism is a nice thing but that means nothing in a practical sense.
Also you ascribe to the idea that hope is a good thing. While it can make you reach forward and push boundaries (needs a lot ambition with that in order for it to work, to be honest) there is a darker side to it. Take for example the story of Pandora's Box. You ever wonder why hope was there inside a box with all of the evils ever? That's because in the original myth the Greeks actually viewed hope as the last and greatest evil. Hope can extend any suffering and in the right amounts bring in any naivety.
Also if you write in the Nasuverse Lantz you should be used to a certain amount of bleakness. The best situation for Shirou when it comes to his ideal for example is "Well it sucks to slaughter and kill people for the greater good and I'll go through a lot of torment doing it but damn it it is worth it and I'm not wrong"
