pessimism [Theme] Page 3

And then there are the pessimists, completely sane, completely adequate pessimists-hypochondriacs. Oh, this type of patients are very common in the political surgery, and in other branches of medicine. And not yesterday, the pessimists are identified in the introduction, during the initial consultation. Only then and as the doctor begins to notice disturbing signs, such as, for example, manifestations of self-doubt, ideas of worthlessness, of maliennes, the futility of its existence. Life appears in gray if not black colors, man, nothing pleases him with no one wants to communicate. Very often such a patient to operate on is pointless, because you do not try, nothing is good enough.

Sadder than a young pessimist can only be the old optimist.
There is no sadder sight than a young pessimist, except an old optimist.

Anyone who has a minimum of life experience knows that pessimism is the natural direction of thought. It requires no intellectual effort, like a stone rolling from the mountain. Much harder to roll a rock up a hill - that is to speculate positively. To think like Winnie the Pooh is not easy. To find a bit of beauty and wonder in all that surrounds us - that is a task worthy smart.

In our country we love optimists. We have a rampant radical optimism. I'm in the eternal dispute of optimists and pessimists, choose the side of the pessimists because the guys are not far from the truth. Pessimists cool guys. To the optimists impossible to talk. They do nothing to explain. Their optimism is based on the fact that they all say that someone even worse.
