Do you see the world as an overall positive or negative? Would you consider yourself to be optimistic or pessimistic?

Why? What situations have pointed you one way or the other?

I'm baaaaaccckk, bitch.

Oh, I thought it was dealing with atoms and stuff, lol. I was like protons rule the atom! LOL.

*hangs head* I'm a dork

I consider the world to be both. Both positive and negative are required to put things into an equal balance.

Am I optimistic or pessimistic? Neither. I am a realist.

Dealing with the good things and bad things that life has to offer is what pointed me in that direction. Life can be wonderful on some days, and it can really suck on others; however, I only get one shot at it, and I do plan on living it to the fullest.

I'm nearly as bad... Blood Types came to mind for me....

But as far as the fact of the matter... i'm trying to be optimistic, i have my good days and bad... i've been negative for some time... and i'm tired of it all so i'm fighting for hope... hoping that it doesn't kill me in the process...

im a realist.
negativity creates positivity creates negativity
the glass is half empty BECAUSE its half full
dont be depressed over the bad, it creates the good
i could write a big essay on this topic, but it would just be scrolled over like most posts

Everything that is perceived to be manifest is a mixture of opposites. Nothing exists without its counter-part. Reality is a blending of the opposing forces; without one you cannot know the other. Potent magic is realized when polar opposites are reconciled by creating a trinary from the binary. The magician herself becomes the middle pi||ar, balancing the forces and forms around her.

Mostly negative but there are some small invisible points of good somewhere out there.....somewhere.....

War, murder, killing of each other and other species, weapons, ......and HATE.....HATE is not something that I believe in....those are all the bad points......

Although the are TONS of good and wonderful things about the world...it is harder to find it than it is to NOT take it for grantit......

GOOD: love, peace, family, games and fun, so many things that make us come togther but all those I listed earlier seem to be gfrabbing hold of us , spittiing in our face and tearing us into millions of tiny peices....

I COULD BE BEING TOO DEEP .OR I"M JUST WATCHING TOO MUCH DRAMA TELEVISION.......HMM

Balance iz the key ... no + without - or visa versa ,...

Yeah....where is the middle? Even I,myself, a person that tends to take things to the extremes, believes in balance.

I'm all for a balance. Can't have one without the other. Or one of my favorite quotes,

"The sweet isn't nearly as sweet without the bitter."

Your all right, but unfortunatly the people with power in this world mostly think negitively and thats what makes the choice for me.

Negative

I'm in limbo really. My personal outlook is generally positive.. however in items that concern the choices of other people.. it tends to be negative. I want to have hope that people will make the right decisions and do the right thing. However, the more I see the more I realize that people are just selfish assholes who don't give a flying rats ass. Which tends to leave me a bit negative.

im more so a negative (haha and so is my blood type)...people are always asking me whats wrong...and in reply i always anwser...The world...

I'm not a realist...I'm an idealist.

Im a optimistic pesimist.......I hope things will turn out good but I know they won't

i see the world through a negative point of view most of the time.

Life is suffering. Happiness is the few moments of brief distraction between cycles of often painful karmic learning experiences. Once I accepted this, it was much easier to look at life with a more reverent point of view. I try to make the most of every moment, especially the painful ones.

Take my goth card. I am positive....Im like a gothic cheerleader.


But I am not naive........I expevt the best but always plan for the worst....I was a brownie once too!

positive or negative...how limited. only two options? kinda like saying is the world black or white.
