Realism

Conforming to truth.

Benefits and drawbacks

The benefit is that you know what is happening and can prepare accurately without emotional influence, leading to knowing things better. The drawback is that it can be perceived as cold, and if you are not stoic enough, it might cause mental health problems, possibly due to depressive realism. And the biggest one is that most things are inconclusive: how do you know...? Leading to possible decision fatigue and headaches amongst other stuff.
