I'd like to be a person who takes things not as someone who is optimistic or pessimistic anymore. Now that when you think of it, the world would be a better place when we say that nothing is good or bad. Think of it, we say things that had happened good or bad depending on our perception of life. We think that the war is bad because it cost us lives of innocent people and it is sustainably bad for the economy as it depletes our cost and lowers the demand. A weed is a weed, as simple as that. If we do not like it, then it's simply nothing much than a weed. There are medical legit advantages of cannabis( main ingredient from weed), where it stimulates appetite for cancer patients and reduced weight loss. Pretty much, it really depends in our perception. Life sucks only when we judge it as bad. Shakespeare said that "nothing is bad or good but thinking it makes it so" and i really agree with it. Without our so called "ability to think" we cannot ever conclude that life sucks or not. Only until we filter and processed whether or not life is good or bad, beautiful or ugly.
Let's take account of disasters. Obviously most of us think that it sucks, bad, tragic...basically anything that you can think of that is a negative thing. But think again, even though generally its a negative thing, but a Holocaust survivor says that "...If we were not an eternal people before, we are an eternal people after the Holocaust, in both its very positive and very negative sense. We have not only survived, we have revived ourselves. In a very real way, we have won. We were victorious. But in a very real way, we have lost". We always have ways to account of something bad and turn it into something positive. Obviously Holocaust is not a good thing, i wouldn't say that it's a good thing but perhaps we can say that it happened. We should see it as a lesson, one that we can learn from. Tragedies occurs everyday, there are losses without a doubt, people die everyday. We cannot prevent or change of what has already happened. It is a loss, it's just a matter of how we take account of it, and deal with it sanely.
