Cynisme ou stoïcisme?

LOL ! Realism...

Oh now that is so true! I do think that 2020 and 2021 should fall into the dustbin with a TOXIC WARNING LABEL (DO NOT OPEN)

Great idea J.P.

Stay Cautious Regarding Covid19 And Omicron

Merci,

I don't agree, don't throw away what hasn't been opened yet, there might be a nice present

2021 bag is full, 2022 still empty... wait ans see !!!! But I am not hopeful... at least for the first months.

Luc, since with the past few years are over, have we tossed out things that have not been opened yet? Your words are provide food for thought. Do take good care!

Be Kind - Reach Out To Others - Laugh Whenever You Can

Il s’agit évidemment d’un symbole qui ne peut pas s’appliquer à chaque personne. La poubelle se remplit petit à petit des malheurs quels qu’ils soient, de l’hypocrisie ambiente politique, médiatique empêchant d’avancer. Bien sûr qu’il y a , et heureusement, des bons moments. Mais moi je suis un sceptique (j’aimerais être un stoïque), et même un pessimiste.
Définition du pessimiste: un pessimiste est un optimiste averti.
Bien à vous et merci de vos réactions

Thankfully we have those good moments to keep us sane J.P. . I agree with you regarding the hypocrisy of the political environment, the actions of the media. I also like your definition of a pessimist. I think as I continue to age there is much I don't approve of. (sigh)

I like your definition of a pessimist.
I still have one question for you: is the glass half full or half empty?

Sans optimisme pas de progrès, pas d’exploits. Sans pessimisme pas de sagesse. Comme disait Gustave Flaubert, « la bêtise, c’est de conclure ».

good question, Happy New Year JPM!

Merci. Bonne année à vous également .

Sad but true, well illustrated. All the best, Luc
