Optimism

“Optimism is a lens” she said, “it helps you tide over life. Isn’t it a wonder that we cannot see things beyond a certain point, and cannot hear anything with a volume less than 20 decibels?”

“I guess so. But I can feel the heartbeats, if not hear, and sometimes I question why. Imagination is deadlier than feeling, and sometimes, it leads people to unwanted realms. Visibility and clarity are better options.”

“Again, you need a lens when there is no option. It’s called optimism.”

“There are days when there is darkness all around, and even breathing feels optimistic.”
