"Don't be so pessimistic!" Who hasn't heard that phrase? People want us to be happy and optimistic. But what's so wrong with pessimism? On the outside, it may just look like someone being sad, but there are actually some positive aspects to being pessimistic, ironically enough. Pessimism, according to Merriam-Webster, is "an inclination to emphasize adverse aspects, conditions, and possibilities or to expect the worst possible outcome." In simpler terms, it means acting pretty darn hopeless towards everything. I don't mean being hopeless about life, I mean expecting the worst. Pessimism prevents disappointment, and it makes the good events seem even better!

People can have ridiculously high expectations sometimes. People live for hope, as mentioned in the movie The Hunger Games by President Snow, who thought hope could be useful in keeping his people happy, therefore not rebellious, therefore repressed.
