The World Through the eyes of an Optimistic Realist
From my experience of being a human being I have learned one thing: life can really suck sometimes. It can reduce you to tears and kick you when you're down, but the beautiful thing is that each day is a new page in your own story. If we pull our heads out of our own problems for a minute we would see that every second of everyday, every breath of air in our lungs, is a blessing. One of the greatest tragedies is that of the person who merely exists. Can really living hurt? Sure. However, everyday we get a clean slate and the opportunity to be a party to something bigger than ourselves. Everyday we get the oppurtunity to seize the day and make life what we want it to be. With this prospect, I find pessimism impossible.
