Thought to reflect on for GV right now!!
“I have observed that not the man who hopes when others despair, but the man who despairs when others hope is admired by a large class of people as sage”

This quote by John Stuart Mill reflects on the admiration some people have for those who maintain a sense of skepticism or pessimism in challenging situations, contrasting with the general optimism of others.

The quote goes to reflect that doomsayers draw attention, even if their dire predictions don't materialize, while optimism may be viewed as naive.

Indeed, there's a tendency for doomsayers to attract attention due to the alarming nature of their predictions, even if they don't come true. Optimism, on the other hand, might be perceived as naive because it doesn't always capture the same level of immediate concern.

When someone adopts a demeanor of despair amid hope, society's skewed admiration can influence their mindset, emphasizing the importance of fostering a balanced outlook and valuing resilience to counteract this tendency. Tough!!! 😮💨

We only hope the distinction between balanced outlook and downward spiral is transparent.
