The two cur- groups are distinguished out of the human population by the stance that nothing is good enough, but they are distinguished from each other by nuances in this position. While the curmudgeon will assert that nothing is as good as it was, the curmounger will assert that nothing is as good as it should be.
In the curmounger, the habits and characteristics of a curmudgeon will be translated into more age- and generation-appropriate versions. E.g instead of saying "back in my day...", a curmounger will say "if you knew what you were doing..."; instead of sitting at home in front of the TV for long periods of time, a curmounger will spend time on their phone at the cafe of an 'grammable location.
There is a possibility for a brief period of contentment in a curmounger's life as they transition from curmounger to curmudgeon, but generally these individuals grow nostalgic for the past without ever actually enjoying themselves in the present.

Get the Curmudgeon mug.The belief efforts to protect people from calamity will only lead to them being more careless, and bringing on more calamity.
This is a fallacy because it (a) assumes people can adjust personal risk to replicate an incomparable situation, and (b) it confusing risk-taking and risky behavior. "Risk-taking" is a neutral term that includes anything that increases risk in some way, such as operating a machine at a higher speed. This usually is done to get some other benefit. "Risky behavior" is foolish, feckless, or sloppy behavior that has no intrinsic utility to the person engaging in it.
