I don't know that I am pessimistic, just realistic. My personal
religious beliefs say that this is all part of the "last Days", and is
necessary. However, I don't mean to sit idly by, without working
against what I feel is "evil". My personal religious beliefs also say
we do all we can.
Hope is always there, and life is still good.

It's easy to get pessimistic about the future. I think
there is a good and bad side to pessimism: The good side
is that it can keep you on your toes and prepared; however
it can also lead to severe depression if you don't have
hope.
