Yes, pessimistic! Don't confuse negativity with realism. Reality is as positive or negative as you choose to make it.

I don't intend to imply that it lacks for losses, of course.

However! Do you turn a situation to your advantage, or do you give in to fear and disappointment?

Do you strive forward, or become complacent?

These are the questions that determine one's ability to create the world that they envision!

Of course you can't do that without first deciding what you want, so it's a moot point until you settle on a direction.

And I still haven't explained, nor will I explain.
