See More = See More Negatives = Be More Cautious (But Not Less Optimistic)

The more you see the more possibilities you see

Great possibilities

and terrifying possibilities

 

The more you see the more you see:

-what can go wrong

-what can be done better

-how little control you have

-how complex the matters truly are

 

I used the word “SEE” — because it’s so neutral

SEEING is innately neutral

You just see.

I doesn’t mean you’re pessimistic or optimistic,

Doesn’t mean you’re confident or insecure,

When you see a spade — you see a fucking spade

You just see

 

So you can see that SEEING has innately nothing to do with your ATTITUDE, not in it’s essence

Of course your attitude could, and does colour your perception

But seeing is seeing

When you see a cat — it’s just a cat

It doesn’t fucking matter if you like cats or hate cats

You still see a cat

You still see

Your attitude doesn’t innately necessarily determine what you see

 

Now,

The more you see the more “negative” you see

You also see more “positive”, but you see more negative

This is because you see more. So obviously you see more of everything

 

Those that don’t see nearly as much as you do will call you “pessimistic”,

(or maybe they will call you optimistic and naive, the dumb pseudo-sceptics)

Those that don’t see nearly as much as you do will often be more confident, bold

They see no danger so they “just do it”

 

see? It is vital to see the difference here:

One can be brave or one can be just blind, stupid

One can be confident or one can be just delusional

One can be ambitious or one can be just clueless

It’s a wonderful thing, being brave, confident, ambitious, self-assertive, optimistic, “positive”…

But it can actually be easier for the MORON than for someone who actually sees

 

Now I am by no means saying that NOT being brave, confident, ambitious, self-assertive, optimistic, “positive” in any way makes you more intelligent,

It’s INTELLIGENCE, it’s SEEING — which makes you more susceptible to being overly cautious, more doubtful, perhaps pessimistic…

However,

In the long run — if you’re truly intelligent, and truly seeing the reality — you should eventually feel very confident, VERY OPTIMISTIC about this existence,

You may still be pessimistic about certain specific things, still be very careful with certain specific things, still be completely baffled by the complexity of certain specific things…

But your attitude to the whole is “positive”

 

Your attitude to the whole is “positive”,

You don’t feel “negative”

You can see “negative”,

You don’t feel “negative”

You see “negative”, you see “positive” — and you feel fucking great

Because seeing things makes you pretty good at things,

Seeing things in great detail enables you to manipulate things in great detail

You get great outcomes,

You don’t fear bad outcomes, you expect them,

You feel great

 

Yes

Use your penetrating perception so that you can be adapt to this world,

Dispassionately see the reality for what it is,

Dispassionately choose the right course of action,

Then passionately act, with the best of expectations
