Isn't it better sometimes to have a pessimistic view of humanity?

Question: Isn't it better sometimes to have a pessimistic view of humanity!?

Because if it's too optimistic, then nothing would get done, right!?

It's when we have faith as humans being good and everything just fine that we mess up and not do anything!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it's better to have a realistic view of humanity!. Try to see things for what they really are, not just the surface!. Humanity is a big fan of image!. If you can read things beyond the image, then you can understand more about how the world works and how to protect yourself from being naive and getting taken advantage of!. And yes, you'll be able to see that there are way too many flaws in our world that we should try to fix!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't know for sure about this one!.!.!.!.but!.!.!.!.I'm going to give pessimism a try and see how that works out for me!.
Optimism really isn't all it's cracked up to be anyways!.!.!.so why not try a bit of the other!?
Maybe to balance them would be alright!.!.!.!.like 2 days of optimism and one day of pessimism etc!.
(ya!.!.!.that sounds good!.!.!.!.I feel optimistic about the mixture of both)!.

Pessimism would make more people give up, I think!. Optimism is encouraging, motivating more people to continue to change the world for the better!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

well!.!. even if it would be more efficient, it'll be a hella lot harder going about things!. :] (i!.e!. brainstorming, planning, doing stuff, living!.!.!.you know, the petty things in life)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Quite the reverse, if you are pessimistic, then doing anything at all won't achieve anything and will probably turn out wrong anyway so why do it in the first place!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Is the glass half full or empty!? Either way, you can get things done!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
