Is the glass half full, or half empty? As long as its filled with wine its always positive thinking.
I came across this piece in a garage in an alley in North Portland. Amongst the wonderful art are messages about not using crack and keeping the streets clean.

Is pessimism easier to maintain than optimism?
In this short, reflective monologue, Sindy explores why optimism can feel harder to sustain in an uncertain world. While pessimism protects itself, optimism requires renewal, participation, and the willingness to stay engaged with a future that isn’t guaranteed.
A calm, non-utopian reflection on hope, meaning, and the emotional work of looking forward.
SCRIPT:
Pessimism has momentum.
It protects itself.
If things go wrong, it was right.
If things go right, it stays cautious.
Optimism is different.
It has to be renewed.
Reconsidered.
Chosen again after disappointment.
It doesn’t ignore risk—
it just refuses to let risk
be the only story.
And that makes optimism fragile.
Not naive,
but exposed.
It requires memory—
remembering that progress has happened before,
even when it’s slow,
uneven,
or easy to miss.
Maybe pessimism feels easier
because it asks less of us.
And optimism feels harder
not because it’s unrealistic—
but because it requires
continued participation
in a future
that hasn’t proven itself yet.
