Pessimism

I have been waiting for a bike since last summer, for about 8 to 9 months now. On the week that I'm getting it, it's rainy, freezing cold, and overcast... and people wonder why I'm a pessimist.

Hmm...well, unfortunately the things we want we don't always get.

I believe it was a famous philosopher who once said: "You can't always get what you want but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need..."

Or maybe it was the Rolling Stones...

On a serious note though... I think its easy to give up because giving up is easy. Its much harder to work on the things you need to change and let God slowly make you a better person.

Sure, it would be easy to just get into a car accident one day and everyone mourn you but God is glorified through the change of our hearts. You, bit by bit, becoming a better person is something that God wants but is the hard thing to do so its much easier to just give up.

So yeah...SURPRISE! You probably have another 50-60 years on this earth.

And I say all this because I struggle with it as well.

I agree. But no matter how hard you try, I still believe you are the same person down to the very core. Again, maybe it's my pessimism... but I feel that it's impossible to fully change.
