Pessimism

I can't stand pessimism.

Spending time with pessimists drives me crazy. It stresses me out.

They always notice the few clouds in an otherwise perfectly clear sky. Even on a warm sunny day they dread tomorrow, because it could be cloudy, or worse yet, rainy.

It seems so much more 'productive' to smile and look at the positives in life. I find that the more I smile, the more others smile. The more others smile, the more I smile.

Granted. We can't always be smiling. Sometimes life doesn't permit genuine smiles. But pessimism just seems like such a backward approach to life.
