Why?

Optimist: Every dark cloud has a silver lining.
Pessimist: But lightening kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it.

Why do flowers bloom so beautifully?
Only to wilt after a few days.
Why does the sun rise and give light?
Only to set again after a while.

Why do stars twinkle so bright?
Only to a fade away with the rising sun.
Why does the rainbow appear with beautiful colors?
Only to vanish a little later for no apparent reason.

Why do people have to be so pessimistic?
Why do they make life miserable?
They think everybody is against them,
When only they are their true enemies.

Why can’t more people be optimistic?
Don’t they know setbacks are temporary?
Optimism brings a purpose for life; it brings happiness.
An optimist enjoys life, even amidst setbacks.

Pessimism is a disease of the mind,
One has to change the mindset to stop being one.
But the rewards are high and great,
So we will change ourselves and try once again.

Why do flowers bloom so beautifully?
To give us joy and make us happy.
Why does the sun rise and set?
To teach that setbacks are temporary and we can rise again.

Why do stars twinkle so bright?
To make the sky brighter when there is no moon.
Why does the rainbow appear with beautiful colors?
To show us the beauty of simple things.

Stop being a pessimist; life is too short to waste.
Stop being depressed; you and others will be happy.
Be optimistic; setbacks and failures are temporary.
Be optimistic; the entire universe will conspire to assist you.
