Optimism or Pessimism

I have been told many a times stop behaving like a pessimist. Hello!! I'm not a pessimist, I am just critical. Life is not lack and white, it is 50 shades of grey. I don't believe anyone is 100% of anything, it is overdoing then. And surely something is wrong with you if you think you are 100% (is it ego or ignorance, judge for yourself). Now, you would be smiling to yourself because you know what I am saying is the truth.

No one in the true sense an optimist who feels everything is just perfect and fine, so yes all the people who feel in the pessimistic category please feel good about it. Things are not always perfect, and finding a fault with something or acting critical is not wrong. When people tell you that you are pessimistic towards life it is mostly because they are not able to handle the truth, ha ha ha. I fight back (not hitting and all) every time someone says man can't you take anything simply and be happy about it. No dude, I can't take, it is a part of me to analyse things how small they might be. I call it being realistic, what's wrong. Never lose yourself just because someone thinks you are not doing things their way. You have the fundamental right to voice out your feelings.

Honestly, I hate pessimists not because they think otherwise but for the fact most of them are so afraid to take risks in life just in the fear of losing. Looking at a situation, listing pros and cons is good but looking only at the cons, instead of weighing both is just not done. It is said that riskier it is the better the returns (also higher the losses). Just don't find reasons not to do anything, if you don't like anything change it don't wait. Just like Nike says "Just do it". Everything cannot be measured in life and even the most calculated decisions fail in life, then why not do something some times. And failure is just the stepping stone for success. (Too much philosophy coming out now)

Optimist or pessimist or realist (dimension added by me), don't stop from doing things. Analyse your options before you start (it is not very wise to make stupid mistakes which could be avoided). Being critical is good but over doing is like drinking all the medicine at once.

PS: I try following what I just said, difficult though, but trying is the essence.
