Funny how the general public is subtly and constantly indoctrinated to always approach all adversity under the premise of “it could always be worse” or “well at least” optimism and by all means never ever ever let cynical skepticism appear lest you be a “Debby Downer” pariah. Allowing an appropriate allocation of both optimism and pessimism occur where applicable cannot happen according to those pushing the Pollyanna mentality. The litmus test that illustrates the one way relativity of the purported fabled benefit of eternal optimism is observed only when it’s you that needs to apply it-- turned around it doesn’t; for example try not showing up to work for 2-3 days in a row (without notice) and then return to work as if nothing happened a see if you are greeted with the optimistic enthusiasm you are expected to always exude-- Will the boss say “well at least you came back” or maybe “it could always be worse and you could have been out for 2 weeks” or will he say “you’re fired and GFY”? It’s only for Schlubs to apply to life. With “well at least” and “it could always be worse” what subjugation or exploitation can’t you endure? One has to know that one is in a world that ONLY functions to profit off the backs of the exploited no matter the cost and there exists no bridge, ethic, moral, vulnerability that can stop the “profit over safety and/or efficacy” commodification steam roller of vulture capitalism.
