Life

The point of living, and of being an optimist, is to be foolish enough to believe that the best is yet to come.

Is the best yet to come for you?

I really wouldn't know. But if I am sure that the best is behind me, I would become a real pessimist. If it is all going downhill, things can seem very dark. You have to get your fun from small things. (wasn't the band Green on Red Canadian?). But I agree that even if you do know that the best isn't going to come anymore, you need to be foolish to believe it will come. Yet it can provide you with a lot of joy if one stays foolish.

Does that make sense at all?

Yes, my friend, it does.

I'm glad it did. Now I have to reread it and see if I understand it myself.
