Carole: Really enjoyed your story. Thought you and others might also like this: OPTIMISM 'Pessimism is nothing but a state of mind, whereas optimism is a system, the finest and the most philosophical invention of the human mind' (Elie Halevy, French Historian, 1895). Optimism is a creatiive philosophical attitude, because it encourages taking advantage of personal and social crises for the development of novel and more sensible ways of life. ...Rene Dubos, Optimism--The Creative Attitude (Condensed from 'The American Scholar', Readers Digest, April 1974, p.63).
