#Pessimism is not realism and optimism is not naiveté

[mintytrifecta]

Sorry but if you say you're "being realistic" or "seeing the world as it is" and then only spout of the negatives then you're not being realistic and your worldview will devour you whole. Pessimism is not realistic. There is no world void of joy and to believe that is to ignore the goodness in the world and only see things in an unrealistic, cynical perspective that is not and never will be how things are. Find some joy in the smallest of things or perish.

#Pessimism is not realism and optimism is not naiveté #Optimism is seeing the world for it's positives in spite of its negatives and striving to make more of it than just giving up #What is realistic about putting your hands up and saying the world sucks all the time??? #What is realistic about ignoring all the joy that got you here???? #Where's your wonder. Where's your sense of fucking whimsy. #Be astonished by the beauty of the world or fall to it
