Realism - Unrealism
Sometimes we wonder, “What can I realistically expect?” True realism depends on CONDITIONS. Is it realistic to expect the bread will bake? Well, WITH heat, or WITHOUT heat? Similarly . . .
REALISTIC
LIFE
A pessimistic person—one who chronically thinks that life is terrible, and who expects the worst—will have an unhappy, unfulfilled life. That is realistic.
True understanding will come to a person who pursues it earnestly, with an open mind.
LOVE
A couple who love each other generously will enjoy a wonderful relationship.
An unselfish, genuinely caring person will attract a bird of a similar feather, and be fulfilled in love.
WORK
A person who works diligently and conscientiously, and treats co-workers and customers with kindness, will do well at work.
A person will master a skill if they believe they can, and work diligently at it.
UNREALISTIC
LIFE
A pessimistic person who doubts life’s best possibilities as they arise will create beautiful, lasting relationships and a wonderful life. Not a chance!
True understanding will come to one who doesn’t want to know, but prefers to live in denial instead.
LOVE
A relationship of two selfish people—or which includes even one selfish person—can satisfy the heart.
A selfish person can be fulfilled by finding a bird of a similar feather—or any feather.
WORK
A person who does careless or mediocre work, rebels against authority, and has negative
attitudes will do well.
A person will master any skill even if they believe they can’t, and even if they don’t work at it.
