Optimism is a wonderful thing. It can heal, help, forge ahead and help you overcome the difficulties. It can help you get started on a long journey, or help you say goodbye to a good friend, or even put a grin on your face when nothing’s going on.
The worst part of optimism is when you assume something will work out and it doesn’t. Not everything is supposed to work out. Life isn’t supposed to be a smooth and simple and uneventful journey, that’s not the way the universe works. That’s what’s responsible for making the good times seem good, and the hard times seem bad.
But if you use logical and controlled optimism, by basing the right facts and ideas, and logically reasoning out a possible positive outcome of a potentially hazardous situation, you can use optimism to drive yourself and not lose out if things don’t work.
A friend of mine didn’t agree with my idea of karma, or cosmic bookkeeping that he called it(hadn’t had an intelligent conversation till then for a long time though) but he did seem to agree that if the faith is lost, then all is lost. I guess my beliefs, and a lot of other people’s are based on optimism ultimately. The hope that things will work out after a rainy day. religion, all draw towards an idea that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, light at the end of the night and so on, but blindly working and breaking is not the way to go. I agree, but hey, which way is?
I’ve personally experimented with all kinds of optimism, and so far it hasn’t let me down yet. And optimistically, I don’t think it will.
