Pessimism is Not Correct

    I started this blog post a week or so ago, after a pessimistic poem that I wrote.

    It's okay. Realism and optimism are good things.

    Hope escaped from Pandora's box, too.

    A million or more people are dying of starvation and malnutrition in South Sudan tonight.

    Not enough people care.

    Some day we will.

    Optimism.

    Realism? Take a seat, Donald Trump, Mao Zedong, and George Orwell.

    Or even J.D. Salinger.
