There’s something about optimism that’s unnerving. From the time we are born and introduced to stories and characters, the good guy is the optimist. Like the ever-smiling, always laughing Mickey Mouse, optimism is portrayed as the quality of a leader. Sing a little song, or do a happy little dance, put a smile on that face and everything will be fine. Maybe that works for kids, but it doesn’t carry very far after you’ve realized that the "person" who was telling you how easy it is to change your whole view on life was just a drawing and nothing is really that simple.
