What's so bad about optimism?
I'm an optimist. I refuse to let things get me down. I always look on the bright side, even when there's not much light in the first place.
Yet it seems like in today's day and age, this isn't a widely taken stance, nor is it really looked upon as a good trait. There seems like an awful lot of pessimistic doom and gloom around most people these days, and it's quite annoying. People seem to enjoy making life harder for themselves by letting it get to them, rather than strain a little bit to hope for the best, and make it a reality. I'm not about to say I've had a terribly hard life, but it sure isn't simple. We all have our share of struggles, and our share of accomplishments.
What's so hard about being positive?
