Optimum

"If you want you can!", "Impossible is nothing.", "Carpe Diem"...nice. Rare. Let's open the curtains to what we say and don't do. Optimism hidden behind the shadow of the feeling that things will turn out badly, the faithful slave of our psyche. If we start to observe around and inside ourselves, we will immediately notice a horrible parasite who makes our soul suffer: Pessimism.

Human beings tend to create a slight possibility of failure in every-single- situation. Just not to fall into the evil hands of Illusion. We want to be 'Realistic'. What we don't want, is to be Rejected and Deceived. As a result, we prepare ourselves psychologically  to an hypothetical consistent loss. Oh my God if we are complex minds! Scene 1 : typical example of sexual desire. A cute girl feels constantly observed by a cute guy. She believes that the individual of opposite sex is actually interested in her being. Very interesting. 

If her brain would not have been inhibited by social conventions, fear of exclusion, shame. What else... by artificial shyness, by the will of going against her instinctive nature of social animal... she would have gone for it. Carpe Diem. But No! She decides, here we are talking about a conscious Choice, to listen to the destructive left hemisphere of her brain. Reason.

As we just use the 10% of our brain capacity, the concept of 'Reason' is still quite obscure and incomprehensible to me. Because we listen to our mortal, imperfect, puzzling 'Reason', how many times do we regret something, even if minuscule, in our life? And now I ask you, how many times do we decide not to believe a certitude? The problem is that we don't believe enough in ourselves, in our feelings, in our perceptions. If we started to observe and to have Faith in what is inexplicable, consequently not reasonable, we would become almost another species. Our lives would be enriched by a series of 'Signs'.

Signs can be everywhere and everything. A sign is seeing on your medieval clock 11:11, or the magic of watching just one shining star on a dark blue sky. Signs are an alternative form of communication. Something that you see and that transmits you a strange feeling. At this point you decide not to deny it but to interpret it in a logic, analytical but also emotional and spiritual way. We cannot be so sure of giving always the right interpretation as we don't have the "Being John Malkovich" power to enter people's brain. Even if not every sign has a positive impact on our life, the proccessus itself brings Optimism. At least we tried, we lived, we risked and we evolved. I say Yes to the "Yes Man!!!" attitude.
