Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

There's plenty of songs that follow a similar pretense but still many skeptics (which are frankly numerous in number, or maybe just very outspoken in their negativity) will argue that this optimistic view does nothing for life and is simply wishful thinking. But you know what, i wouldn't have written a blog post about mere opinions, and this is defiantly true in this case, give this a read http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-15214080 or simply just let me explain the general gist of the article.

Basically, if i have actually understood the article fully (which might not be the case since I've literally just read it, and haven't spent much time doing so, because frankly what's the point of reading it, i'm sure i can understand it from the title alone) it explains how a recent scientific experiment has shown how people who have a optimistic view on life, their brains reject negative thoughts.

I don't know if you realised what that means, to put it simply optimistic don't just try to find good in every situation they actually sub-consciously refuse to acknowledge certain negative information, making the already positive outlook even brighter. I don't know about you but i find this truly amazing, i always knew our brains were amazing things but now this is just mind-blowing (metaphorically that is, otherwise it wouldn't be that great).

Although there is one downside (but if you're optimistic, then feel free to ignore this, if you know that you're doing it) that is of course that optimistic people have skewed view on the risks of certain events occurring, whilst this can also be a positive event in certain cases since the way people view events can affect the outcome, it can also be very risky (see what i did there) business.

However i do actually a question for this researchers, what about pessimists? Do they reject certain positive events keeping their dreary bleak worldviews in there original greyscale condition? If so then they would also  sub-consciously reject this experiment aswell, meaning there would be no need in their view to do my experiment, or maybe i'm just making stuff up in order to make this post seem ever longer, justifying the need for it in the first place.

I hope you feel enlightened and feel free to adjust your life views as needs be. As for me i will consider my views, that is after watching TV and playing civilization, which of curse are much more important things to do, than simple life changing philosophy. But you know what i would consider myself an optimist anyway, i mean i might as well enjoy my life since statistically it will be of little importance and about 78 years long.
