Hi friends,
Today, I read Albert Einsteins book on relativity and tried to understand as much as i could, which is probably very little. But an interesting idea in Einstein’s theory seems to be that events appear differently depending on where you are and when you are looking at them.
Isn’t that also true on a deeper level?
Like, when you take a look at your life? you know, what you’ve done, who you are, how much you have ahead of you .etc.
Doesn’t your perspective largely determine what it is you see, good or bad?
I even suppose that you could say that your future is a lot like Schrödinger’s Cat. You know, since you can’t observe your future until you live it?
The funny thing about your future is that it always escapes you. By the time you actually know whether or not your future is truly good or bad, it won’t be your future, it’ll be your present - and then quickly become your past.
So, what I’m trying to say is that, as much as Schrodinger’s Cat is as much dead as it is alive, your future, as far as you can ever know, is as much good as it is bad.
So then, Surely, It would follow that it is just as valid to be optimistic about your future as it is to be pessimistic about it.
All that said, I suppose my final question to you, and myself, is :
“Why not be an optimist?”
