"Pessimism, from the Latin pessimus (worst), is a state of mind in which one perceives life negatively. Value judgments may vary dramatically between individuals, even when judgments of fact are undisputed. The most common example of this phenomenon is the "Is the glass half empty or half full?" situation. The degree in which situations like these are evaluated as something good or something bad can be described in terms of one's optimism or pessimism respectively. Throughout history, the pessimistic disposition has had effects on all major areas of thinking[1]."negative doesn't mean wrong keith
Pessimism is just the world's way of mischaracterizing realists.
Some people like to look at other people and the world for who and what they are, not what it/they ought to be or pretend to be.
I may have a degree of pessimism about me but I'm not a pessimist. Some pessimism keeps things honest.
yea it does.
unless negative is the right thing to do.
