Do we always have to be optimistic?

[akari]

Do you think we always have to be optimistic, when you feel sad or suffer in your life?

i dont think being optimistic is always the best way. of course, sometime good but i think its not every time. i mean, i think we sometimes need a time to feel sad or suffer. For example, if your precious person died or be hurt by someone, you feel sad and you might cry right? but if you are being optimistic like oh whatever I'm fine... thats sad. you cant cry when you wanna cry. so i think to feel sad or suffer is also important as much as to be optimistic.

Well i dont think being optimistic is a requirement in your like, but its good ti be optimistic. In a situation where your beloved person died or got hurt, you definitely will be sad and cry. It doesnt mean that you should not cry because you should be optimistic. Being optimistic in that situation is to overcome it in the most positive way. But, i dont think we should always be optimistic. Being pessimistic sometime wont hurt you;)

I definitely think that being optimistic doesn't always happen. Grieving for a dead one is a great example. It is perfectly natural for you to be sad and suffer. But optimism is one of the traits that helps you if you know how to apply it into different situations. I'm not sure how to be optimistic for the case since I think I've never experienced it yet. I would rather be a person who copes the hardship with positive mind than one who lets that incident affect him for rest of his life.

I think that there are times when you can't be optimistic, because that isn't just how the world is. The world that we live in is unfair. Too unfair, that things doesn't go the way that you wish it to be. Being optimistic is important because it helps you to always to be cherrful. Being cheerful helps you forget the pain that you have, but it doesn't mean that the pain disappears, it only is cured.

You should be optimistic because if you are going through a hard time because you don't have to suffer from those horrible feelings. You get sad and then you move on with your life. You could suffer for a short period of time but by being optimistic, that bad memories should make you stronger.

Being optimistic doesnt mean that you are a dumb person, nor does it make a person bad, it also does not mean that one cannot cry or grieve the dead. One can always suffer and cry even though they are optimistic. In a situation such as greiving for the dead, one can cry and feel bad, but if one is optimistic, it wont let it effect oneself, those who are optimistic will not let sadness take over them.

I wouldn¡¯t say that we should be always optimistic. I would say that optimism is useful. It doesn¡¯t mean that bad things will happen but helps us go through depressing moments well. Sometime in our life, we have to be pessimistic to withstand threats (such as bullying). For funeral example, it is right to cry and grieve for dead. Later, be optimistic to forget the loss.

Being optimistic is always the correct choice. Before i thought that being optimistic all the time isn't too good, but then i realized that i was looking at a bad optimism. Optimism doesn't equal to ignoring the problem and just laughing through the problem. You must understand the problem and try to solve it. "Never Give Up" is a very important part of optimism. You are allowed to feel sad and depressed or angry, but that shouldn't last for long. After some expression of your emotion, you need to stand back up. In the past, i also thought that being negative and expecting the worst all the time is a good preparation. Just-in-case something turns out bad, you'll be ready and won't suffer as much. Now that we have learned about optimism and how it will affect you, I think being optimistic at all times will influence you strongly.

I think being optimism will not always solve the problem in hand. So in this case people should try to do what is best for them. Thinking positively won't take you anywhere. The main idea of optimism is to be encouraged by thinking positively and working to solve problems whit less stress.

I think being optimistic is very important and beneficial when we face obstacles. Still, I don't think that we have to be optimistic at all times. Sometimes, being too optimistic can be bad.
For example, when we face a hard obstacle, we might be just avoiding the problem by being optimistic. Optimism isn't suppose to keep us away from obstacles. I think that optimism is supposed to help us overcome them. So sometimes, it's okay to be realistic and prepare for different outcomes.

Be Optimistic

[sergeyfen]

I think being optimistic is really important in pepole's life. It takes so much emotions and feelings to act optimistic when you can no longer be it. I agree with you about special person its true, but it doesnt mean you are pessimistic, you are letting your feelings out and it takes lot of strength to go through it. Also i dont think being always optimistic like literally means always being optimistic, sometimes you are fine but at the sametimes not really, idk..

I think it's really tough to be the optimistic one. I mean.. being optimistic means you still have to feel pretty happy about things even if it's a bad thing. I mean, who could possibly look for the bright side when something bad happened? and.. especially,,living in a society like this ,,, I don't mean to be a pessimistic one here but I think fact is fact.. it's hard to be an optimist for every moments of our lives. But.. I really think it's good if you are an optimist.

Be Optimistic is important but it is depends. I don't think you don't have to be optimistic when they did really bad things.
