Of late, we can see a diversity of opinions in cyberspace which is testimony of the beauty of freedom of speech in the net. There are those who are filled with positive vibes like yours truly and yet those who preach a gospel of doom for reasons known to them. I wrote about this at length in my previous post called WHAT REALLY MATTERS AT THE END OF THE DAY? The following post is the graceful , hopeful and beautiful comment that Nick wrote as a response to my thoughts. He has given me permission to repost it and I have done so with minor editing. Thanks Nick. I pray each of us will continue to abound in hope no matter what and continue to reject the attempts of some to bait us or to provoke us via the subtle use of psychological warfare/propaganda overtly or covertly to stir us into the opposite direction or to make us cower in fear. We will overcome with strength and wisdom from above and from within ourselves and friends.


Life is about living - NOT griping. We have only one life - let's live it with hope. Let's believe that no matter how dark the day, the sun will come shining through like it always has. Thanks! Have a great day.

OPTIMISM OR PESSIMISM? written by Nick

Life is all about choices. Even though we don't have any choice in determining our gender, race and country of birth, but so does all of humanity. It's not about fretting all the challenges and adversity that life throws at us.

It's about us accepting it and looking for ways to be happy and making other people around us happy too. You choose to do something after accepting the fact.

Indeed being pessimistic, negative and becoming a "scrooge" is a choice too but isn't it a waste of time and effort on our part to spread sadness, sorrow and melancholy when we can bring joy to the world and to others with our existence?

Wouldn't it be great to spread happiness and hope to our family and friends? Why would you choose gloom over happiness? Even the worst human being longs for happiness.

So it quite unnatural (well against nature to be exact) to be pessimistic because if we look at our world, we can see optimism and hopefulness in nature itself.

The birth of life in our planet for instance...it borders on miracles AND HOPE because for life to exist, so many things and events must occur at a specific time and at specific level that a single minute deviation would prohibit the existence of life.

Against all and enormous odds (billions or trillion to 1, against), those sequences of events and time did come together to allow the creation of life on this planet. If that is not hope and positive inclination of nature (divinity/hope) then I don't know what is?

Life and nature itself is full of positive energy and why should we be different? We are sons and daughters of this world, right? So why are we against our own nature and become pessimistic and gloom and bleak?

Choose and the choices are all around us.

Choose wisely because we will not be here again and our choices effect others as well. Change happens when we are hopeful and optimistic of a different outcome otherwise we will not want change.

Even those pessimistic who preach negativism are hopeful that people will change and join them. Isn't that a contradiction? Hoping for people to share their negativism/PESSIMISM?


I say that hope is the engine of life and humanity is the fuel that powers the engine. SO LETS US BE THE BEST FUEL FOR THE ENGINE OF HOPE AND LET THE ENGINE ROAR TO LIFE AND CHANGE THE WORLD!

Everyday we went to sleep with the hope of waking up in the morning. It is GOD's way of telling us something, maybe??? Hopefully, Yes!

DO STILL THINK THAT YOU DO NOT MATTER? HAVE YOU LOST HOPE IN YOUR LIFE? WELL, THINK AGAIN FOR HOPE LIVES AND HOPE NEVER FAILS US.
