It appears that I am an optimistic person. I genuinely seek happiness in my life, and I typically find it. Though I don't ignore the realities in life that can be disheartening it seems to take a lot to bring me down. Others I know are not so.
I'm not sure what makes a person more likely to look for the silver lining versus looking into the blackened abyss. But, honestly, when it gets down to it, I think it's a matter of faith. Faith in God, faith in yourself, and faith in others.
