Optimists and pessimists will always be placed on the opposite platters of scales,
whatever pair of their characteristics is confronted.
Despite all the similarities and references the question isn't about being one or another.
The fact is many of us certainly have features of both what already doesn't make us
absolute optimists or complete pessimists.
On the scales, today I'm placing "hope" against "despondency".
"Hope" – A spiritual feeling. Without starting any attempts of dissection leading to needless volatility
and groundlessness for bearing hope - it undeniably gives so called lifting of a spirit.
A true rescue in a war, comfort in experiencing sore side of life.
Devoting oneself to this feeling means being given fresh, new perspective.
One living with hope experiences courage, consolidation, peace.
The one whom the last hope has been taken out - discouragement, disappointment, despair.
It is stated that the darkest place is the very bottom of hope. Therefore, the final matter to consider is to ask deep within yourself if you are positive about thinking that despite all the bad happening around,
everything has sense. And are you the one who believes that, as a matter of fact, the good IS active,
with the characteristic that it is noticeable for eyes able to see, mind is willing to search for its signs?
Does your hope pictures a belief:
- that good is heading for a victory despite the more intensive activity of evil on the world.
- that is always and incessantly constant in its influence even without our direct
participation.
- that our wishes, silent hopes can contribute to the victory of good.
- that you can sleep in peace because every new day is a better one due to silent activities.
- in existence of ultimate good which is beyond our abilities of judging what is the best.
And with this in mind, are you capable of accepting different results than the ones which you often deemed
the right ones?
