Do you consider yourself an optimist or a pessimist? Perhaps you consider yourself a realist. Many pessimists call themselves realists. I think, that they think, it makes them sound smarter. They like to deride optimists as “pie-in-the-sky” people.
An optimist looks at the world, sees good things, and sees an every brighter future. A pessimist looks at the world, sees the bad things and sees a darker future.
I wonder which group of people is happier.
I would ask, if you’re not an optimist, why not? I would further ask, if you’re a pessimist, or a realist, what do you have to live for?
