Why I stopped being optimistic

I have been an optimistic person my whole life. But at one point, I started observing people around me. Their optimism had started eating them. They were addicted to optimism. They were able to find positive things and vibes even in the worst of circumstances. For example, when a driver of a bus is drunk and makes an accident while the bus is filled with children, nearly all the children are dead but the driver escapes.

This is the kind of optimism you can find in people nowadays. Being optimistic is good, but being addicted to it is very idiotic. Because of that, you think you will never be hurt, but everything around you will get hurt because of your activity. Because of optimism, you will also undervalue the risk you are about to take. Then at some point, you expect everything to go your way, but that is not how life works. Sometimes things happen that may disturb you. If you find positive things in the problem instead of solving it, you will never be able to overcome the problems you are facing. It can sometimes lead to procrastination, which will eventually lead to the crossing of deadlines. The one benefit of being optimistic is that you will be flexible with anything and anyone. These are all the reasons why I have reduced the optimism in me.
