Welcome to one more article on another way to look at.
We all had defended our negative thoughts/statements saying that our pessimist side kicked in. Of course, everyone will have both pessimist and optimist sides to them but I think when quantified one will always have an optimist side higher than the pessimist side.
Life is uncertain and can’t be predicted – may be that’s what makes it beautiful (my optimistic side kicked in ;)). When always dealing with the uncertainty of life or anything that is not fully known end to end, humanity has used the single most powerful weapon called “hope”. I feel this hope/optimistic side of humanity is what gets us to the end of an uncertain event or even life always looking up to a better tomorrow.
On the other hand, I feel we never can go a step ahead when we are already negative about the future event. That is the reason, lot of things in this world like stock market is fundamentally a bull market. But bears do exist in market – to benefit from over optimism rather than the being the other half in the circle. I see this whole thing as the second circle in the image below, where pessimism is not the other half rather the perimeter to the optimism with variying thickness from one to another.
To bolster my opinion, even if we look at the history – we never had disaster management, insurance, or risk mitigation system inplace when we started out at first. It was most of the time when we faced a diaster/unfortunate event due to over optimism that’s when we stopped and made these industries to save ourselves from over optimism in event of unfortunate events.
This is evident anywhere and everywhere from the systems we setup to the life decision we take on individual basis. We all are living on a positive note. That’s what binds us as humans and gives us strength.
That’s all for today, see you in a better tommorow!
