Yesterday morning i woke up early.....early for me that is.....Somehow i woke up a full hour earlier than i usually do...( that my alarm is set for !!) Now i am by nature, very optimistic and a great believer in portents...So i decided that the fact that i awoke early meant that it was supposed to happen .....that i was supposed to attend the class i usually miss and that today was going to be a wonderful day..That everything would go right..(!)-----------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes yes...i can see what you are dying to say..."Pah !!".You laugh at me... Snigger even, at my (misplaced) faith in Life and my misinterpretation of what was probably some insect that probably went up my nose and woke me....but then that's your problem...and anyway i bet you're dying to hear what happened next....----------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, the day proceeded normally , no surprises or unexpected good fortune... I didn't find any money fallen on the ground, nor was i visited by an alien race that granted me super powers, and even the food in the mess was bad....In fact, i spent my afternoon studying for a quiz that was to be held in the evening..Furthermore i screwed up the quiz and was busy all evening, reaching my room only at 12 30 am...
Now i can see you......not sniggering and smirking but wearing full grins that make you look like Satanic priests....thinking..."HAH !!" But the fact is that you miss my point....that i forsee what your reaction is going to be...so as is obvious, i do hold the ace...it's just my hole card ! (google: blackjack !!)Fact is if a cynical pessimistic person went through a day like mine...he would probably have been infinitely depressed and well..... cynical ! But us optimists....well we get through the day...hoping for more.... wishing for more....and you know..maybe ...at the end of the day we do get that....So it's easier for us to get through the tough bits of meat that life dishes out...
Personally if you ask me, all pessimists, just put up a show....acting all cynical, but underneath hoping for something good to happen and believing with all their heart, that it will...And i know that pessimists feel the same about optimists...that really... we are cynical killjoys who just conform to social norms by behaving all happy go lucky and hopeful.....That we just put on a smile....For those who do...STOP !...And for the many, i'm sure, who don't.. CHEERS !
PS: Isn't it obviously better to be happy always, than mistrusting and sceptical about everything...
PPS: And i'm talking about and to the smart optimists here, the ones that know it's OK to cry sometimes....
PPPS: I seem to be getting more senti (that word comes with a lot of prejudice ,...rather let's just say... meaningful !(which again comes with a lot of bias !!(That makes me neutral..on the fence with my anti inflammatory cream !!!)))Well....I had an epiphany...what can i say...
