Optimism

I have a friend who is frequently accused of being overly optimistic. He is accused of having too big of a heart. Quite frankly, I did not think that was possible, but what I did discover was that it is an incredibly contagious personality. I know there are bad people out there and that the worst case scenario happens but I also feel that we don’t allow for the complete opposite enough. There are great people out there. I have met people that have changed my life forever for the better. And yet, we never focus on those people. We focus on people who are trying to cheat us out of a dollar, or people who didn’t treat you with respect. I know this is a bit of a rant, but I think at its core I am saying that the world could use a bit of blind optimism.
