The Wonders of Pessimism


I am one of the most pessimistic persons you will ever meet. Amid the negative associations one can derive from the word "pessimism", it had already worked wonders for me. In fact I've become too good at it I started to develop my very own ESP for negative events. Yes! I am the psychic you wouldn't want to hear predictions from. My experience vary from various events such as hold ups (held ups?), snatchings and other malicious intentions, which makes me a flexible casualty alarm. This gift has actually benefited for me since this allows me to flee at once when negative vibes start crawling over me. Should my predictions materialize, I could always dwell on the fact that I sensed it beforehand, had an insight on what to expect, consequently lessening the pain of loss.


Living in constant worry allows us to have a reason for our compulsion of employing all means to ensure that everything is going well. It allows us to face reality and act upon it.We do not allow ourselves, and others to be submerged in our own perfect hallucinations. We do not say, "Okay lang yan may next time pa naman" when someone flunks an exam rather, we slap you with the bile-purging reality by saying "Ikaw kase di ka nagaral. bawi ka na lang next time."
