Food for thoughts

" The optimist is right, the pessimist is right; the one differs from the other as the light from the dark. Each is right from his own particular point of view, and this point of view is the determining factor in the life of each. It determines as to wether it is a life of impotence, of peace or of pain,of success or of failure.

The optimist has the power of seeing things in their entirety and in their right relations. The pessimist looks from a limited and a one sided point of view. The one has his understanding illumined by wisdom, the understanding of the other is darkened by ignorance ! "

( Ralph Waldotrine - 1995 )
