"A tendency to stress the negative or unfavorable or to take the gloomiest possible view: "We have seen too much defeatism, too much pessimism, too much of a negative approach" (Margo Jones).
The doctrine or belief that this is the worst of all possible worlds and that all things ultimately tend toward evil.
The doctrine or belief that the evil in the world outweighs the good."
Of this I am accused. I am too negative and pessimistic. WRONG. You see, sometimes I look at life and I notice some disgusting things about humans. We treat each other terrible, pretend to love, pretend to hate, sometimes we really do hate. But I notice these things because it is my belief that if humans created the problem, my goodness, we should try to fix it!
I'm 20. 20. 20! But this does not exempt me or any other aged person from having some pretty amazing ideas that might not be solutions, but would simply help. I dare some of the so called optimistic people to look at the world with out shutters or shades. Then, and only then, will your optimism be of use.
Get up and do something people! I'm so sick of sitting around myself and seeing not only MY generation sit around, but previous generations sit in comfort and ease pretending to be paving a way and being a real "trail blazer".
Sometimes, I love life. Often, I love life. But those are the times that I am realizing that God has given me something to do and ways to do it.
Because REALIZING that you (through the help of God and others) CAN make a difference, well, that's something to be optimistic about.
