I would like to share these paragraphs in the Epilogue of the book:
.
Waxing pessimistic is one of the easiest ways to masquerade as wise. And there is plenty to be pessimistic about. But permanent pessimism is no substitute for thought.
.
"No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the stars, or sailed into an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit, " wrote Helen Keller, the remarkable blind and deaf author who traveled to thirty-nine countries, wrote eleven books, inspired two Oscar-winning movies and fought for the rights of the sightless until she died at the age of eighty-seven."
