Important..please read before continuing

The more serious posts are at the beginning of the blog. I ran out of good topics and started doodling :P
Unfortunately, they aren't written as well as the later posts. . .
Your choice

PS: It surprises me, how I have to validate every single thing I do. I mean, there was absolutely no reason for me to write this note, and even less, to write this postscript, or the postpostscript, that i will write after this one. Maybe, I do not like being misinterpreted. or maybe if there's any criticism that needs to be dished out, i'd rather do it myself.Or maybe i'm just a megalomaniac who wants to be all encompassing and always in a position to say: 'I told you so', even if the 'so' is some inherent flaw in me :P

PPS: Or maybe i just have too much free time, writing long posts to an imaginary audience. . . .

PPPS: Wait, that would be megalomania. . .

Yesterday...

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...

    Being an optimist sure makes life easier to get through, coz otherwise we waste a lot of precious moments of our life cribbing about everything. According to me, even an optimist who seems to be feigning his positive attitude about everything in life is better off than a pessimist, coz he's enjoying every moment of his life.

    i disagree with "smileawhile" in that one who is faking optimism is in reality a pessimist and a hypocrite on top of it...
    also i dont see the point of faking enjoyment by faking optimism...when deep in you know that it is all indeed fake...
    but a nice thought you have there sumedh...
