If you’re a millennial and optimistic you’re just an idiot.
I have zero hope for the future but i am so thankful for people who do because any chance of a better world vanishes without optimistic people.
I can't be around them and my bloodpressure goes through the roof listening to their naiv takes on how the world could change when i am convinced we humans just don't have what it takes to build a better world long term BUT i do realize people like me and you are absolutely useless to change anytjing for the better.
You are not more intelligent for being a pessimist you are just wired differently and with writing your comment you achieved nothing but making the world a tiny bit more hostile.
I can't be an optimist but i sure as hell don't want to turn them into a pessimist like me, thats just cruel and you shouldn't try to convince them either, if you have nothing of value to add you can just scroll past.
I mean I get what your saying but I totally disagree. They need to wake up and get the fuck to the range. I need fucking allies.
I can’t fight shit by myself.
Or... maybe just paying attention this week. Because circumstances evolve. And intelligent people realize that conditions do change.
I've had my share of depression, despair, pessimism, cynicism. So don't think I'm some "good vibes only" toxic positivity looney.
But you know what, I really enjoy the relief I feel at seeing the results of the recent election, and I'm choosing to dare to hope that things can finally turn around this time. Because if we don't dare to hope, then they never will. And I can't accept that. I won't accept it.
Things will turn around when we start killing these monsters.
And IF we stop being cowards and actually put them down, the damage is done. This planet is dying and we’re dying with it.
Give a fuck about a Democrat I guess.
Oh, so when you called me an idiot it was just projection?
Thanks for informing me that I don't need to care about your opinion!
No worries! Have a great evening!
