Why People are Losing Optimism Today?

wibidata-tech

According to Bill Gates, the people nowadays are losing optimism due to all the terrible news being show on media. Whenever we turn on the TV, bad news is usually waiting for us.

A new terror attack somewhere in the world or some hate speech by someone we considered a role model or it might be some other crime news, these kind of negativity surrounds us every time we watch news. These things drain our energy and make us pessimistic and sad about the future of the world.

Pessimism is Bad for us

Pessimism is bad for us not just as a society but as an individual as well. If you are pessimistic, your thoughts will revolve around catastrophes, you will create in your mind the worst possible scenarios. Deep down you are absolutely convinced that nothing you do will have a better life, that your actions are worthless and that you are not competent enough.

This takes a toll on us and we fail to flourish and fail to become a productive person for the society. Surely you ask yourself often, why should I try it if it will not work anyway? You prepare for the worst and for failure, you are so convinced that your mind creates traps for you all the time.

Pessimism drains us and our society. It hinders the growth of the society.

Believe us when we say at this platform of wibidata that if you are a pessimistic person, you not only affect yourself but you also hinder the nourishment of society. You should try to be optimistic, whatever path you choose will be right for you and will be respectable. But as far as welfare is concerned, obtain better achievements, be more successful, enjoy positive relationships, have more positive emotions and find a meaning and purpose to your existence

Why Shouldn’t We be Pessimist?

Bill Gates says that we should be optimistic he gives a lot of reasons for us to be optimistic. In fact, he says that the world is far better place now than what it used be many years ago. He says that all the progress the world has done should make us proud and happy about how far we have become.

It is no doubt that the bad news always catches the eye and becomes the center of attention but that doesn’t mean that good news isn’t there. In fact, society has grown so much that many of the bad commodities of the past have been abolished completely. What are we at wibidata talking about? Let’s see

  1. Decrease in child mortality rate:

In his editorial, Bill Gates said that if we see the mortality rate in the past, we will notice that it was far greater than what it is now. In the eighties and nineties, many of the children used to die before reaching the age of 5 years. Diseases were more prevalent and deadlier than they are now. But thanks to the science and technology, the mortality rates have been improved a lot.

  • Acknowledgement of LGBTQ rights

In the past LGBTQ rights weren’t acknowledged, gays and lesbians were looked down upon and even killed for mere life style choice. Now a days, our society has become more welcoming and receptive. We are considerate and open about it. LGBTQ community can live in peace without fearing about their lives. If we see that, it is a quite big growth to be honest.

  • Increase in Women’s right

Women’s rights weren’t acknowledged in the past. Women were deprived of basic human rights they didn’t have the right to vote or have a job for themselves. But now women are considered equal and they are flourishing and working with men side by side.
