resistance and yield
"Being pessimistic is wise to forget the disappointments and not be humiliated in front of everyone. Thus the wise people at the optimism is banned. The essence of optimism is not looking beyond the sitiuazione but this is a vital force , the strength to hope when others give up, the strength to hold my head high when it seems that everything has failed, the strength to endure the failures, a force that never leaves the future of their opponents, but the claim itself.
There certainly too optimistic a stupid, vile, that should be banned. But no one should condemn the optimism seen as the will of the future, even when they were to carry hundred times the error: because it is the health of life that should not be undermined by those who are sick. There are men who feel little serious hope for a better future and to prepare for it. They believe that the meaning of present events is chaos, disorder, catastrophe, and are not, in resignation, the responsibility for the continuation of life, for reconstruction, for future generations.
