Are you a pessimist or a fatalist?Both types of person have a limited and distorted view of the universe and of human existence.
They allow themselves to be subject to circumstance and because they have nowhere to go, they never reach their goals.
The pessimist believes that all is wrong with the world. Why aim for anything good and be disappointed?
Anyway, death ends all, so why bother?
The fatalist regards the world as a big machine and all human beings are being turned out from it as a part of its products. We are in the clutch of blind destiny, neither good nor bad and we may as well submit to what destiny has in store for us.
Why go after things and still not get them in the end? We shall get all that is coming to us anyway.
Both views do not nurture any aspirations, only nullify them, and produce a paralysis of despair.
The only remedy for them is to get a more profound view of the universe. They need to develop a positive, constructive philosophy on life.
Some of the great prophets and poets have lived for the basis of humanity and see the universe as a rational place based on law.
Personality is seen as being a precious thing to be developed and a Co-operative effort is part of a constant, ever advancing development towards making this world a better place to live.
All personal aims become valid and worthwhile when we develop this positive attitude towards life.
It becomes the source of all aspirations.
