Observational according to their spirit, optimism and pessimism are both deformations of reality. The first provides anticipation of a positive outcome to given circumstances, while the latter one generates worry of the negative end. Both have the propensity to throw one off his decision, directing him either towards the positive or towards the negative perspective. As much as people would like to deem optimism to be more beneficial than pessimism, it is, in effect, not that simple. Both tendencies have definite advantages and disadvantages.
Pessimist is a person with stitched lips but an optimist having the will power to break free from it. The ways we look at things are the key holes for a better future.
I believe that we are run by our positive and negative thoughts and they are the deciders of our future. If we dwell on positivity then positive outcomes are assured but when negativity lures our mind, we are locked up behind our own made up bars. But sometimes the thoughts which arise in our minds are the results of past memories. If we had a good past with a good start then we will always be filled up with positive vibes but when something bad or distorted happens to us, it makes our lives vulnerable because we dwell on it.An interesting study showed that adopting an overly optimistic mindset while predicting the future has a direct correlation to an increased risk of disability as well as early death.
Basically, as the rate of overestimated contentment in the future got higher, so did the percentage of disability reports and death risk. Another study conducted by researchers show us that both optimists and pessimists are able to use their own outlooks to get ahead. The research was carried out by creating two groups, and telling each to think either positively or negatively. The study showed that people will more successful at working out solutions when they were following their natural instincts to be either optimistic or pessimistic.
An optimist and a pessimist both have their ups and downs. An optimist, when facing disappointment, might be disillusioned as he or she was expecting better. A pessimist, on the other hand, might have been expecting things to go wrong and isn’t as shaken up when they do. There isn’t really a wrong or a right path; you have to decide as an individual, which path is best for you.
Although, studies lead us to believe that it might be more advisable not to adopt either extreme; instead, be a realistic optimist who is neither too confident nor too insecure and is able to study situations objectively. Although you might be able to better operate while acting as a pessimist or an optimist, that doesn’t necessarily mean it is the best outlook for you to adopt.
