Pesty PESSIMISM


Pessimism is the act of being pessimistic, or looking down at life, giving up in another sense. If one has this trait, then that pertains to the survival of life. Then there is no point.

Adele clearly defines this in "Chasing Pavements"
"Should I give up for should I keep chasing pavements even if it leads me nowhere."

My grandmother and grandfather called on the phone, my mom told me to talk to them, to wish them a happy and healthy new year, because "they could die at any minute." I told my mom not to think like that, but she gave me some stupid story about how she knew this lawyer and she saw him everyday, and spoke with him everyday, then he suddenly died of leukemia. That got me really mad, she thought with a horrible state of mind. I know what death is, I know it can strike, I know to expect it. But I do not want to think about it until it is time.

But in this world, there is always an opposite to everything we have.
