OPTMISM & PESSIMISM

"Optimism and pessimism are the two dogs visiting everyday at your door asking for food. Both dogs look very much same in the outlook, you can't make the difference even in the few meetings! One dog barks a lot, he's very demanding and gets angry very frequently, while the other one always remains calm and peaceful and always seems contented. You feed the barking dog one day thinking that he might stop getting angry, and so, you can feed the other dog later.

You took the barking dog to be more exciting and active, as it seemed like that to you, and you kept on feeding the same one every time! The barking dog grows bigger and bigger day by day. Whereas, the other dog gets weaker and thinner with each day passing without food and hence, one day, loses the strength to sustain.

You, actually failed to realize the one you were feeding was your pessimism, and in that way, you killed your optimism. You killed your inner voice of hope, a voice that always showed you a lighted path even in the darkest of times. You were so much intoxicated and blinded by the momentary and superficial shine of pessimism that you lost the strength of hope forever. So, awaken your psyche and realize which dog you are going to feed, before you lose the only cause vital for keeping the world alive"
