That's probably more true than not. I am, innately, a pessimist. However, I strive against this, and try to look at the world in a better way and keep things good. I sincereley believe that by giving yourself a more positive outlook in life you CAN shape change, but it's extremly subtle, and sometimes not worth the trouble.
Thus, though I tend to initially look at things in the worst light, I always try to ask myself "Well, how could this be good? What can I do to make it better?"
I think it helps, but maybe it does lead to a bit of tension that wouldn't be there otherwise. Or maybe the tension just IS the pessimism, as you suggest.
I'm in a writing mood today. I just wrote a ~book~ to answer one of TT's replies to one of today's entries. In a good mood, despite, well, it goes without saying.
