Ok, that really sounds scary and awfully painful. I am glad you are already at home and I am sure Magda will take good care of you! I wish that the recovery will be super fast!
I am not sure I am as optimistic as I sound. But yes, I think so too, it is good for the health and makes things less heavy. I think that I am less or more optimistic in certain themes, while I can be less or more pessimistic in others (maybe it depends on how well informed I am as you say? It surely depends on many things).
I have noticed that when I think of how small and insignificant I am and how I can't change anything big in the world, which is a pessimistic but absolutely realistic thought, then I feel more calm, and maybe then I seem too optimistic. Hats off if it makes any sense @bluemoon!
It makes all the sense in the world! In the sense that we can't just stay in a feeling now when everything is changing so fast! If you're a normal human being there's no way that optimism and pessimism can't replace each other. We can't change the world just by focusing on the good and ignoring the bad. A philosopher of yours, of course, from antiquity, seemed to say that the world exists only in our imagination. My mind refused to understand that, or I understood that there was an infinity of worlds, according to each man's perception... Plato? I learned that decades ago, I don't remember, no disrespect.
Something strange is happening to me... I don't like googling information I knew and have forgotten or am no longer sure of. I like to err more than I like to search. A little crazy, isn't it?
Thank you for your good wishes, I hope at least for a recovery, even if it will not be very fast!
