Maybe the people who are pessimistic are right?
- coldtea 7y agoDoesn't matter. You can be optimistic or pessimist in the same exact situation. E.g. when in dire economic situation. The pessimist is "right" sure. But being right doesn't make you stronger. If you give up hope, you lose all kinds of benefits of the hopeful - including fighting till the last minute, and perhaps reversing the situation. Not to mention that whether you're right or wrong to be hopeful, some situations just reverse themselves, or something good happens out of nowhere, in which case the pessimist just got a more expended period of internal suffering for no good reason.
