So, why are things so different in real life, why should everything be so complicated yet very predictable if we allow ourselves to think about it? the only surprises are bad ones, and this is probably why they surprise us; because they are bad, and our poor brains just block every negative -even if logical- prediction of how things will most probably turn out. Maybe if we didn’t think of things as bad and unwanted we wouldn’t be really surprised when they happen. Is it possible to think positively of everything and always look at the bright side, only? but wouldn’t that be unrealistic? and would probably result with a stroke in the long run?. Oh well, whatever. I just don’t get why do people struggle trying to be realistic, why don’t realistic people struggle to be unrealistic, dreamy and illogical instead? it’s easy to be realistic sometimes, you just have to continue living whereas being unrealistic isn’t easy at all, being inconvenient, different, maybe crazy a little too. I don’t think it’s easy, especially to dream.

your task for the next month is to try and ‘think positively of everything and always look at the bright side, only’
k?
Yeah, reality bites… I htinkthe solution is to dream in moderation… except for pipe dreams of course
Once I read this “disappointment is the funtion of expectancy” i realised since that I shouldn’t expect the good side, but this way I will end sad and powerless (in a sense where someone needs a force that motivates him/her to do things), then I realised too that I need to “hope” and forget about “epxect”, this way I became someone with “hope” but when it doesn’t come as I hope I recall only at that moment “that this is well expected”, this way I can dream,look at the positive side (the full part of the cup) while at the same time don’t get disappointed when the unexpected happy.
I donno if I could make myself clear, what I tried to explain here is part of my Proactivity Group blog.
Happy Eid
