The Building Blocks To A World

Life is 10 percent what you make it and 90 percent how you take it~ Irving Berlin

There are two very extreme views of the world, personally, one should not buy into either of them. While they are both very legitimate, at the end of the day, they are both extremes, and cannot be taken too seriously.

The first one would be the pessimistic view point. The world is dark, it's gritty, everyone is dying and being raped. Every man, woman, child, and dog for his or her life. A person with this viewpoint can only see the bad. They call them realist, but ironically, they take only a part of reality and focus on that, thus being unrealistic.

The second viewpoint, would be the optimistic view point. The sun is shining, birds are singing, the bees are humming, money is raining down from the sky and everyone is in lourvvve. They see the world through rose tinted glasses, blinders really. Blinders to block all that is bad. They cannot, and choose not to see that others around them are suffering or that there are serious issues going on.

Both of viewpoints are very extreme, and living in just one of them would be living in deception. Ignoring either one would be denying reality.

Additionally, if you just live in a world of dark, you will only see dark, because every gesture you see, will only be bad. People, things in general, they aren't perfect, and if your looking for the imperfection you will always find it. For every masterpiece there will be that mistake. If your looking just for that mistake, you will find it, and you will just focus on it. Turning something beautiful into just revolving around that mistake.

On the other hand, if you only choose to see only the happy and wonderful world, without acknowledging the darker things in life, your world will be definitely destroyed by things that you refuse to see.

To sum it up, we should really see both sides to everything or the bigger picture. There is a time for everything though. Ultimately, we should see the good in everything in our world. However, we should be flexible to acknowledge that there are problems, and they need to be realized. Sweeping things under the carpet and being optimistic that they will disappear, is ridiculous, but neither is it wiser bathing in one's or others' problems.
