Dr. Zhaoyang said:
Speaking of "pessimism", I guess the first reaction of many people is negativity, depression, and lifelessness.
There are also many people who feel that one should not be pessimistic or negative in life.
But in fact, everything has two sides. Pessimism can reduce anxiety and reduce ego depletion.
When writing this cartoon, I remembered what Schopenhauer wrote in "Positive Thinking of a Pessimist":
"A happy life means a life that is not so unhappy."
A positive pessimist can accept loss. And failure, accept less good results, but also actively strive for it.
If you feel too stressed due to work, study, or illness, you might as well try the "defensive pessimism" strategy.
Finally, I would like to say that sometimes, being able to avoid pain is worth celebrating!
