RE: Can you taste the ambrosial scrumptiousness?

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

You are right in many ways and for many people. I realize that some people are naturally the 'half-full' type but I feel that for other people that attitude must be forced. Trying so hard to see everything as a 'learning experience' or 'not necessarily a bad thing' makes them unhappy. Being a natural pessimist doesn't always mean that it makes you unhappy. Cynicism sometimes gives a person a lot of things to laugh about. It can work to make life fun if that person (OK... me) uses it to advantage rather than becoming neurotic or angry all the time. It can make me a tiny bit of a perfectionist at times though!
