Why?  There is nothing inappropriate in what you've shared.

I have often said that there is no value at all in constantly being chipper and cheerful and refusing to acknowledge unpleasant or difficult realities.  Just as there's no value in suppressing heated disagreement about ideas or techniques.  Adults can and do disagree, and if they can do that without being disagreeable, it serves a purpose.

And you're hardly the only person to observe that red tape (or whatever it may be called in one's own cultural context) can quickly strangle the enthusiasm and life out of many things.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.
