With some disappointments there’s no action to be taken, just the fact to sink in
Sometimes you just need to
“There’s a knock on the door. I open it, and there’s this cute little sink. And it says to me, ‘I need about tree-fitty.’ Well, it was about that time that I notice that sink was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era.”
Destroy all expectations, live in permanent disappointment so you’re ready when it hits.
lol
Thats why I choose to be a pessimist. It eliminates disappointment.
Expect the worst from humans and you’ll usually end up being factually correct, you’ll never be disappointed, and occasionally, if the moon and the stars align, you just might be pleasantly surprised about something at some point in your life, just don’t count on it.
Optimism looks fucking exhausting when dealing with our gem of a species. Being let down most of the time and still putting on a smile for the next disappointment you won’t expect 5 minutes later. Looks like masochism minus the sexual pleasure. Good luck with that optimists!
While I’m generally a pessimist, I don’t view optimists as wrong or naive. They’re just better at handling disappointment than I am.
