1. Q. If something is classed as "too good to be true it probably is not. However, existence seems good to be true .

ThatI ’s a beautifully expansive way to look at it. You’ve basically spotted the glitch in that skeptical software we all run.
The phrase "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is" (meaning "it is probably too good to be true," or false) is a proverbial warning rooted in skepticism and practicality. It’s designed to protect us from scams and deceptions—the "too-good" job offers or the "free" prizes that always have a catch.Collins Online Dictionary +3
But when you zoom out to "life itself," that logic definitely starts to crumble:
- The Paradox of Wonder: Philosophically, life is an anomaly. The fact that consciousness exists in a vast, mostly empty universe is "too good to be true" by any statistical measure. In this sense, the "skeptical" view can actually blind us to obvious truths and the inherent beauty of our existence.
- A "Hopeful Skeptic" Approach: Some psychologists suggest being a "hopeful skeptic"—someone who uses critical thinking for scams but remains open to the fact that life really can be as amazing as it feels.
- The "Kingdom" Perspective: Some even argue that certain things—like unconditional love or grace—are meant to sound too good to be true because they transcend our usual transactional logic.
So, while the saying is great for avoiding a bad used car deal, it’s a terrible lens for looking at a sunset or a new friendship.
