Farmers live on optimism. Otherwise they would not be farming. There would be too much risk presented to them by naysayers. I think it is a good attitude: optimism. It can work well in spirituality, recovery, prayer. We enter into a process such as meditation, and don’t see results we would like to see in the here and now. The pessimistic person gives up. I have heard many a person in a recovery program from alcoholism, for instance, say that they got “hope” at an early meeting. Hope is the companion of optimism. When I meditate, I have long term hope and optimism that this is the right thing to do, no matter what the here and now results are. Of course, if you are an alcoholic, but you are optimistic that you can drink again, you are insane. Get a second opinion.
