Stupid optimism ist way better than being depressed. In the end your mood doesn’t make a difference on the things that are. But it makes a huge difference in the things you can achieve.
Someone said: “Even that won’t work. There is NO way any of us can avoid the politics today. In one way or another, we’re all its victims!” To which my response is, “Not if I ignore y ou.”
I’m a happier person than most because I never listen to the news. Why would I want to hear the spin some network wants to put on everyday events? There are a lot of better ways to find out what is happening in the world.
Y’ all do remember that we elected him, right? Had we taken care of the people before that, he wouldn’t have stood a chance. Perhaps after 4 years of an object lesson on what happens when there is a lack of compassion in the world, we will choose wisely this time?
I don’t watch the news either 1) Its boring 2) I hate politics 3) It feels futile to get upset about things out of your control you should instead focus on what you can control
My (conservative, reformed protestant) parents were very down on acting happy without a very good reason. One of many things that helped me decide to move far away upon graduation from college.

It’s actually required to be considered for a job in the trump administration. Can’t have any ‘Gloomy-Gus’ types wandering around the White House.

In China, they only show you the good news on the news. No thanks. I’d rather see bad news spewing propaganda peddling on TV in a free world country.

Fortunately, Pig does not listen to the news. That’s how he can indulge in Stupid Optimism and enjoy life more than Goat and Rat combined….

Emphasis on “Stupid”, but I would go so far as to call it false hope.

In today’s world, a pessimist is a realist. An optimist just isn’t paying attention.

‘Stupid optimism’ explains a lot of people now, and not just the president and his supporters.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

Apparently so, if you feel up to announcing that the pandemic is on the run, when “run” turns out to mean an exponentially increasing infection rate.

It’s allowed, but paradoxically, the people who are stupidly optimistic shouldn’t be, and the people who aren’t, need to try to be.
