THE STRENGTH OF PESSIMISM



THE STRENGTH OF PESSIMISM

I have always been intrigued by philosophy. Philosophy is the study of life. How we go about daily life. It gives me a greater  sense of understanding of life, and in that I find resolve and some what sense of belonging or fulfillment. Pessimism as you know is seeing the glass as half empty...

Strength of pessimism is more of an introspective form of philosophy. It is when we look at life's shortcomings, but from these adversaries there is strength, truth and the ignorance is bliss notion steadily fades away and we give room for reason or logic.
I sometimes can be abit pessimistic.

The philosophies of pessimistic behaviour have stuck with me for a long time until recently I have become a penchant for optimism. Now that I am more optimistic, I tend to live in fear of the unknown. You see the philosophy of pessimism has clouded my judgement for the better part of my life.

I have endured pain, loss, illness, suivide and e.t.c but now a new light has come into my life. I believe in God again or a Higher Power and I can tell you I feel awesome!

The philospher Fredrich Nitchze founder of pessimistic philosophy tells us that we do not live in a utopian world even though we so wish to....instead he highlights that ignorance is not bliss. Instead we should acknowledge all the hardships we go through and see life for what it is.

Then and only then is when we become self aware and make a more concise decision on how we go about life. I see it as a warnimg call to a more positive and optimistic attitude.

So, always look at the glass as half full.
