Pessimism, from the Latin pessimus (worst), is a state of mind in which one perceives life negatively.
Why are people so pessimistic!? I want to live my life inspiring others to love their own life. Has it become a social construct to think so negatively of people and the world itself? I just don’t understand why we perpetuate the mindset that people will not live up to their expectations. In today’s society, we lack respect, understanding, and patience that our ancestors once had. I cannot stand the hatred and disregard that pass onto each other everyday. This construct is the very foundation of our pessimism. We think people are terrible because they treat each other terribly…so does that mean we just stay that way and continue treating them the same way? HOW WILL YOU CHANGE THE WORLD?! I’m sure I am not perfect, but I am aware of my actions and how they may affect others. Even in my own daily life, we think so negatively of our classmates that we continue to think none of us will participate or get involved, which just gives them the excuse to skip out on all those opportunities. i try so hard to motivate others, but how can i keep doing this if someone is shadowing me and taking down my efforts. i guess all i can do is to keep trying.
