The Zena Complex
I've never suffered from that complex.
In fact, I doubt that Don Quixote did, either.
It's about idealizing something that never was and never could be.
Better to wear rose-colored glasses than glasses always shaded in dark gray (or black).
Perfection, in this world -- is impossible. Especially in veiw of one's own weaknesses and flaws. Unfortunately, weaknesses and flaws are a major part of being human.
But it gives one something to strive for.
