Pessimism
© 2015

Stephen A. Peterson


The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?


Psalms 27:1 (NIV)


Pessimism may negate a person into nothing. Only positive approaches inspire the effort and releases the energy necessary to make a dynamic personality of achievement. Strong affirmation give spirit, vitalize drive and attract people to those eliciting such personalities.

Prophets of gloom and doom are never in demand. The negative outlook on life or life’s activities is unpleasant, unhelpful; and unproductive. Pessimism sees bad where there is good. This repels people and defeats attainable success and progress.

Wild animals will defend itself by attacking or fleeing even friendly people though an attack upon them is not going to occur. Wild animals almost never make good pets even though time and effort are brought to the fore.


Prayer:

Almighty Father bless and reassure all who are battling with depression, loneliness, unworthiness, and hopelessness. Father shine Your Heavenly Light down upon all of us, Lord, who are looking for the human touch to give them comfort and hope. Guide us to find peace, happiness, and contentment in our lives and within ourselves. Amen.
