Pessimism

Today, the weight of pessimism and lack of imagination bears heavily down on us. We can’t seem to deal with our own personal problems let alone global problems. We ignore the significance of our obvious shortfalls, fed as they are by pessimism, which prevents us from seeing beyond our own familiar reality. We’re mesmerised by a dead-end thought: “In this day and age of huge, powerful political corporations making decisions and doing things we disagree with, there’s nothing we (the ordinary people) can do to stop them.” If most pessimistic people feel as though they are falling to their doom, it’s because they can’t see how to fix things. They don’t see the most obvious switch to flip. They’re caught up in a world of destruction and they don’t know how to stop destructive people in society doing obviously “destructive” things.
