minor twaddle

We are great pressimists at heart. The pessimism is hard to evoke, though.
We are great pessimists to things we feel make us. When we look inside ourselves, there is a premonition of loss. That is the fear that drives us to latch onto something even more, even if it would mean working harder to keep it. To the audience, that makes us an 'optimist' - opti.mist: A mist of optimism. True optimism is when somebody can be in complete abandon and still feel that everything will be in order. In a way it leads to having an affirmation in others; in their faculties which will work alongside without hurting yours. It facilitates collaboration.
Pessimism leads to great men. Optimism leads to great societies.
