Most people are pessimists,i think. And that is why the collective view of the world is going to be negative. It's hard dealing with negative people when you are positive,it's easier to join them and whine right along with them. For example,at my job they send people home with no pay if there isnt enough work to do. And people walk out crying,bitching,screaming at anyone within earshot,and they're still bitching the next day when we come back. I walk out smiling. But when one of them sees that i'm not upset,they almost get more angry! They're like "You might not care about this,but i can't pay my bills when i don't get paid!" They almost get more angry at people who don't share in their negative feelings. That is why the world is primarily pessimistic. I wish there was a way around this because if only people were optimistic,that alone would help a lot of the problems go away. |
