From the following lecture ,http://audio.iskcondesiretree.com/05_-_ISKCON_Chowpatty/01%20-%202004/04%20-%20Apr%202004/04-04-01-Srimad_Bhagavatam-4-28-40_Srimad_Bhagavatam_Shikshastakam_Prabhu_ISKCON_Chowpatty.wmaPeople have a wrong idea of being optimistic or pessimistic in life. They sometimes say that your philosophy always speaks of pessimistic things in life.As the saying goes.....Who is a perfect optimist?A perfect optimist is one who very well understands all the pessimistic things of this world. And using his intelligence he discriminates to grasp all the optimistic things and avoid the pessimistic things. So, he is not in ignorance of pessimistic things. He is in full knowledge of what are the things which are detrimental to his progress in human form of life. But he adopts all those things which help him.
