The Importance of Being Mr. Pragmatic

( Guess this had to happen after the extremes of Dreamzz and Great Expectations... I had to take a middle path )

Ask any person on the street that whether he is optimist or pessimist, chances are pretty high that he will come with a reply which would suggest to us that he would be liked to be known as optimist rather than pessimist. Better to say glass half empty rather than half full. Even better to be known as a positive rather than not so... And now it is a ell established fact that an optimist has a better chance of succeeding than the person who is not so.

Life becomes very easy when we choose to live in fake world. We put new paint on dead walls, we walk with no clothes on body and still feel as if we are draped in silk, we cover rubbish on the floor and convince ourselves there is marble beneath. So very easy to make people imagine the golden dreams of future... that so very difficult to to make them see the hard vagaries of present.

So you see it is not the question of being optimist. The question also is not of being pessimist. The question is of being realistic. The question is of being PRAGMATIC. The question is of being able to face realism away from fake world. So should we still ignore the bricks and only concentrate on the paint or rather the color of our carpet or should we look inward within our self, be honest and realistic and build our future away from foolish fake imagery world. The choice is entirely yours.
