Sometimes we are worried about tomorrow. Sometimes we are addicted to the past. Sometimes we keep suspect to something in the world. That is to say, we were filled with anxiety.
I always think that I am a girl who is optimistic. But after reading the letters from Mr Wu, I think that sometimes I am pessimistic.
Firstly let's talk about the dangers of pessimism and scepticism.
First of all, they can make things at a mess. Our different ways of doing things are determined by our different views on the future, the world and people. If we don't have a confidence in the future, we will get swayed by considerations of gain and loss every day. The second danger of pessimism and scepticism is that they are toxins that poison our souls.
Secondly, Let's talk about, why pessimism is so popular.
First of all, people's overconfidence and the contrast between themselves and reality are the roots cause of pessimism. In our real life, we tend to over estimate ourselves. We think that we have the ability to do a lot of things at the same time. But at last when we fail, we are in a bad mood. On the contrary, the more people go up, the more open they become. The more they know their limitations, the more humble they will be, the more awed they will be. And there will be no more unrealistic expectations. At this time, people become open-mind, but not so pessimistic about the future and society. Secondly, bad news is always amplified. The more developed for the communication and medium means, the more obvious the effect is. Thirdly, from the information theory, the more unusual it is the more information there is.
From the above three reasons, we can see that they're our human weakness. How to overcome them is worth thing about.
We must understand that we can not go back to the past, we can't live in the past, too. We have no choice but to move forward. In the process of moving forward, The past is lost, so it has to be lost. You don't need to be make up for it because you usually can't get it back.
Sometime we ask ourselves the questions like this
"If I choose another choice in the past what will happen today?"
The question is of no significance. Because, we have to move on. At the end of each chapter, it turned over. The future will be better than today, which is the conference we should have.
