Why or why not?<br /><br />- The pessimistic route in life often seen as a negative way to live. If the pessimist acts this way, it may be because of the un-amusement with things they find in life. It may be due to the circumstance in which they view factual evidence as something to endure. Pessimists endure a realistic view of life that does not bring them the excitement an optimistic might have. In this sense I applaud pessimists for having this view on reality, for if we were all only optimistic we may miss the truth of reality. <br /><br />But in being an optimist are you missing truths of reality or just hoping them to not be? <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540765200935342434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2619743764213415433.post-6437523313830181162016-10-20T11:54:39.770-05:002016-10-20T11:54:39.770-05:00I think morals should be considered by every perso...I think morals should be considered by every person themselves.

In Hellenism, the specific pantheon I am a part of, it was a very strict and superstitious faith with only local canons in ancient Greece, but in modern times its a mostly light spirituality that connects us to Nature/Cosmic Energy and a basis with lessons for morals and philosophy.

Some issues are clinical and result from some sort of deficiency or malfunction of the brain and therefore, medicine helps resolve those issues.
