What's your philosophy in life?
Honestly, my philosophy in life is comprised of many parts. I get most of it from online reading- the opinions and thoughts of others that I piece together and recreate as my own. Everything combined ends up being my philosophy. Essentially, I believe in living life without imposing upon the lives of others. I believe in peace over power, and I believe in honesty. I believe in always being there for the ones you love and I think there's a lot to be said for empathy and compassion that often isn't. There's a time and place for logic, and there is a time and place for emotions and the two shouldn't be confused or excluded. Are you an optimist, a pessimist, or a realist? Many people would call me a pessimist from talking to me, but I'm actually a realist. Most people confuse realism and pessimism because they're extremely similar if you don't examine them. pes·si·mism ˈpesəˌmizəm noun a tendency to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen; a lack of hope or confidence in the future. re·al·ism ˈrē(ə)ˌlizəm noun the attitude or practice of accepting a situation as it is and being prepared to deal with it accordingly. See? Big difference. As a realist, I can't help if a situation is bad. Recognizing it as a bad situation doesn't make me a pessimist. It just means the situation is bad, and I'm choosing not to sugarcoat it. Well, there are two more answers for you to digest. I'll throw in a few more later. - Maddie
