Pessimism

Posted by Terry Nelson on May 28th, 2007

 

“Pessimism is not in being tired of evil but in being tired of good.  Despair does not lie in being weary of suffering, but in being weary of joy.  It is when for some reason or other the good things in a society no longer work that the society begins to decline…” - Chesterton

    Oh, I don’t know Rhaps…I don’t like things like that. I’d have to talk to people and stuff…I suppose I should go though - I’m not smart like those people however.

    Isn’t Chesterton incredible though?

    Hugs!

    Omigosh! You, not smart?!!

    You don’t have to say anything, but don’t deny yourself… you don’t bury your talent here - do you know what I mean?

    I understand - I like being alone in a crowd too - but I’d still go if I could!

    It’ll be great. & a lot of people go. No one will bother you.

    You can do it. Leave the smokes home, too…

    Thank you for considering!!

    :)!!!!
