this perspective, like the rainbow, is called into existence by something else. when consciousness pays attention to the rainbow, YOU suddenly materialize out of the sub-components just as a rainbow is put together on the fly out of colors.
thus virtuous pessimism should not exist. consciousness should not call YOU into existence if your are not necessary. if you DO exist as a pessimist you are a leader without a destination. a shepherd without sheep. you are standing alone because you are not needed.

why are you there? because you insisted on existing. by sheer force of will and habit and desperation. you wanted to be here. that is the irony of pessimism. it is made up of hope.

and hope... is the final desperate plea of the hopeless. only the hopeless hope. it is all they have.
