I've no idea why you have posted this but it's never a good idea to criticise others although we are all guilty of it at times. Most of it on here, in my opinion ,is just nit picking but some posters can and have got nasty at times.

This is my take on life . It's a good mantra.
We can only do our best, I posted it as a relevent comment.
Optimism is cowardice because you'll never make it out of this world alive. You'll forget that you were born to die and you will torture and imprison children to dodge a flu. That's now far it will go to avoid difficulty. You should remember that you were born to die.
And even if our own mortality has been forgotten at least verbally where's the optimistic behaviour? Why aren't you optimistically taking the 95% chance of surviving covid? Does optimism secretly mean fragile?
It's not optimism as in you're confident of winning it's optimism in the sense that you can't lose because others will pay your bill and stomach the consequences of your actions. It's too big to fail and can only hear what it wants to hear, face what it wants to face knowing that someone else will struggle in its place. It's a spinelessness really.
It's like the Biden style of optimism. No negative thoughts of Biden were allowed in the media and he won even though nobody likes him and he's a nonce. Biden winning is as predictable as cheating death to dodge the flu. The west doing everything it can do recapture the old position of stillborn posterity. Reversing the trend of centuries prior what the society now does is make a worse life for its kids. The late 20th century where the old spared themselves to ruin the child. Your posterity dies younger than you, it can't read and write as well as you, it gets paid half as much to work twice as hard as you. It's a posterity where Asia's middle class take pride of place at the ever shrinking table because western grown ups are something more like Peter Pan. Living in a complete fantasyland for decades until the greatest power on earth is a fascist state.
In other words ignorance is bliss. You can be safer if you don't know things, if you're streetwise my advice is to ignore what you know about folks and agree with the autistic academia that prefer to puts it money on what ain't gonna happen for the sake of being unnuatural and different to who we really are.

Ive posted this before, but for anyone who missed it:
“ Flowers cannot bloom without the rain Nor can rivers run without the snow Cold and stormy Arctic winds Make Southern breezes blow
So when life before you seems weary And everything’s just going wrong Remember, it’s the stones in the water That give the brook it’s song”
