"Seaweedy" may not be a word



Realism is all about protecting ourselves, usually from vulnerability and sometimes from the often harsh reality of life. Self preservation encourages realism but i have a feeling that sometimes we take it a step beyond and enter the dimly lit realm of pessimism. Once you jump in, you kinda flop around, flounder and if you're not careful, lose yourself to its slimy, seaweedy depths. The davie jones locker of pessimism has engulfed many a soul lured by the protection of realism. Realism has its place, but only with a thick, moist layer of optimism right underneath. Afraid of disappointment, pain or failure? yeah, me too. President Packer notes, "it was meant to be that life would be a challenge. To suffer some anxiety, depression, disappointment, even some failure...there is great purpose in our struggle in life". Finding out that purpose should occupy more of our time than protecting ourselves from the consequences of mortality.
