pessimism

We tend to perseverate on the fact that as far as we might have fallen, there__ always another bottom underneath the one we__e laying on. Yet, for every bottom underneath us, there__ always endless opportunity above us.

I can't be a pessimist because I'm alive. To be a pessimist means that you have agreed that human life is an academic matter.

Thankfulness is an attitude of possibilities, not an attitude of liabilities.

Life belongs to optimists. Pessimists are just viewers. Making it real, starts with our attitude.

The author says people are guilty of "wrecking the present because the future was bound to be a wreck.

It is the most ambitious and driven among us who are the most sorely in need of having our reckless hopes dampened through immersive dousings in the darkness which religions have explored. This is a particular priority for secular Americans, perhaps the most anxious and disappointed people on earth, for their nation infuses them with the most extreme hopes about what they may be able to achieve in their working lives and relationships.

People who are too optimistic seem annoying. This is an unfortunate misinterpretation of what an optimist real

If there is any hell more unprincipled than our rulers, and we, the ruled, I feel curious to see it.

If the journey to success and happiness was hundred miles, some people would calculate it by meters and get discouraged by the numbers they come up with.

No misfortune is so bad that whining about it won__ make it worse. (Apr 2007 Gen Conf)

Nothing can save you from hate, empty all your treasures and give it to people and one out of the multitudes will curse you, so live your life to please yourself and not others.

I forgot what I was going to think.

The mind is an intricate mechanism that can be run on the fuels of both victory and defeatism.

If there is anything in the life of any culture or period that gives good grounds for alarm, it is the rise of cultural pessimism, whose major passion is bitter hostility toward many or most of the people within the very culture the pessimists always feel they are intent on rescuing. When panic on one side is creating alarm on another, it is easy to forget there are always as good grounds for optimism as for pessimism, exactly the same grounds, in fact. That is because we are human. We still have every potential for good as we ever had, and the same presumptive claim to respect, our own respect in one another. We are still creatures of singular interest and value, agile of soul as we have always been and as we will continue to be even despite our errors and degradations for as long as we abide on this earth. To value one another is our greatest safety, and to indulge in fear and contempt is our gravest error.

We have reached the end of one era, and now we don't know what is all around us. Because we're already in a new era, and it is very different from the old one. Science and the world of technology are both changing everything so quickly, even our bodies. So the original ancient culture was present here, but to no avail, at this point in history it has come to stop. It still has some effect, some kind of continuity, but it cannot analyse and reformulate things, it cannot impact things with absolute strength. The age to follow will be full of dangers. It will be full of difficulties. In all likelihood, it will not be a good future for mankind. It is even possible this new era will mean the end of mankind.

I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will.

Sorrow spares no one, and scars respect no person.
