How to be a pessimist

What is the meaning of life?

A lot of people may try to have an optimistic point of view on this topic, but there really is no reason to do the things that we do. We learn to speak so that we can communicate with others, then we go to preschool to prepare for elementary school. We go to elementary school to prepare for high school, or for some people middle school, which prepares us for high school. Once you’re in high school you have to work extra hard to get into a good university to get a good job. Once you have a good job you work really hard to get enough money to survive and maybe feed your family if you have one. Every now and then you go on fun trips and if you work hard enough, maybe you can have a nice retirement. Once you are retired you can go explore the world, but you can’t experience the things you could’ve enjoyed when you were younger because your body is starting to break down and you’ve spent most of your life working your ass off. You’ve wasted your golden years, and you can’t do the things you planned to do your entire life. If you’re a optimist then you forget all of that and try to make the most of what you have left and look back on the best parts of your life. No matter what, chances are you die having never achieved your goals in life. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t have an optimistic point of view on life, I highly recommend that
