So after failing for the nth time to elicit even a smallest
of the response that a nervous system can evoke involuntarily in the heart, I
have decided to embrace pessimism. Having done that, I see how funny the world
we live in, which is always prejudiced against the pessimist. Alas! There is no
hope for the people of the world.
The idea looks simple and straightforward. If I know, I can
never win her heart, and I choose not to fight, because I know the fight will
result in a loss and probably in pain, why do I even keep the candle of hope
burning. I should simply put off the light, accept defeat, drink some beer, and
live life like as I should have done in the first place.
See, isn’t that how the world should be thinking. If some
person, says he wants all the power in the world. Let him have it. What will we
do with it? The problem arises, only when we hope and aspire to be like them.
But then again, there can be only one winner. So let him or her be. Anyway, we wouldn’t
succeed. Embrace the life and live it.
Yes, I know, people would talk about how this attitude could push us into dark ages, but let me ask you all, is the world we live in any better? We live, we eat and we die. How has the life changed in four thousand years? We have only discovered new ways to be sad, and new ways to be envious.
We have prolonged our suffering in an attempt to alleviate it.
I think, it is high time to embrace pessimism, to accept and live our life, as we are meant to –
sad and serene.
