I listened to a scientist speak on Public Radio
and discuss optimism versus pessimism.
She stated that pessimism is the default human response.
Our brain is wired and routed in such a way
that our thoughts choose the negative What-Ifs first.
It’s no wonder, then
that poets, writers, and artists alike
who spend so much time sending so many thoughts
down the wires and routes of their minds,
prefer the shadowed side
