When a happy or optimistic person looks at a neutral situation, they will see it optimistically and positively. When a depressed or pessimistic person looks at a neutral situation, they will see it negatively. It's very interesting. I read that pessimists might be more realistic, but optimists are happy. And it's interesting because it's almost like whether or not you're in touch with reality to the most specific extent possible. If you choose optimism, you will create happiness. Do you really want to know in such a specific way, like every bad thing that's happening in the world, or do you want to feel good while you're here?
