The Uses and Abuses of Optimism

Optimism isn’t just a word it’s a way of living we all have those people that see the light at the end of the road and those are the ones we like to call optimists. The article makes it seem that the rhetoric for being sad isn’t always dealing with a pessimist that it’s just happens within. What i mean by that is that being pessimist doesn’t always mean you’re sad and gloomy all the time it may just be that you’re having a bad day. The article makes it seem that people force themselves to be happy which in some instances they do but that’s their choice nobody else’s. When people pretend to be happy their only lying to themselves but when people genuinely try to be happy it makes a whole lot of a difference even if it’s a tiny one.
