Optimism

There are studies that would seem to show that people with optimistic attitudes live longest. Perhaps, this evidence is true because these people are able to endure the worst…and rebound quickly. You probably know this…but in his book Night, Elie Wiesel speaks to the truth that only those who have something to live for, such as he did while in the concentration camps in Nazi Germany, survive. There is also the cliché, “Only the strong survive.” Interestingly enough…the strongest person ever died young…as a decision so that all might live forever…
