If there has ever been a time where there was a necessity to see the light at the end of the tunnel; it would be now. Despite my stubborn personality, my need for remaining optimistic became very reliant on the grounds of stabilizing my health. I always found myself trying to differentiate the attributes of a pessimist and realist; in contrast to a realist and optimist. Can optimism and realism really be successfully cohabitant? I would love to answer with, "I don't see why not."
But what if the realm of optimism is, in itself, a biased one? I mean, you can use the same logic with pessimism, I suppose...
Nevertheless, the human mind is never bias free. Decisions are made and opinions are regarded in correlation to bias. What makes bias so different? From each person, and from each mind. Why do we solidify our own world views and hold them to be our personal truth?
Well, if your truth does not relatively meet the same terms as my own, then you sir, are wrong. But what if our personal truth is not what makes bias different? Oh what is most interesting about bias is that it is not reliant upon one factor.
Ew, I hate using the word "factor". That's one of the words you use when you want to try to make yourself sound smart, when, in most certainty, you have no idea what other sophisticated word works best for the placement of a noun.
I am an optimist. Not because I want to be, but because I have to be. I am biased. Something in my upbringing or cognitive development was different than one of a pessimist.
However, it's with this mindset that will bring me to my best potential state of health.
I apologize for my short post. Yeah, I don't have much time to elaborate more on these feelings.
Really, I don't have much time. I'm on vacation. I will do my best to blog about that as well.
