Is Optimism Contagious?

One of my premises is being surrounded by positive people who look on the bright side of things and think that the glass is half full. I believe optimism is something contagious and if you feel the good vibes from the other person, you can face your life in the same way.

On the contrary, if you perceive negativity from the environment, I’m sure that you feel burned out and unenthusiastic, it’s like the other person will steal your motivation.

As I mentioned in another post, not everything is a bed of roses and excessive optimism isn’t healthy either, but it’s important to get into something and be full of the joys of spring. Life is very short and if you see everything desolate and in a bad way, rest assured that the things you want will be difficult for you to fulfill. Why do we need to go across the longer and tough way? That’s right, if you feel on the ropes and that you’re throwing in the towel at any time in your life, that’s ok because people have ups and downs; however, staying in that state for a long time or indefinitely, that’s the problem, we can give a shot to the opportunities, perhaps they can be a big break for us. The most important thing is not to miss them out since we can regret it.

Life is a permanent learning and it’s like a gear where everything that you do generates impact in others. It’s like the Butterfly Effect which idea is that small things can have non-linear impacts on a complex system, in other words and taking this quote from Fitchte, The Vocation of Man (1800) “You could not remove a single grain of sand from its place without thereby … changing something throughout all parts of the immeasurable whole.” Then our behavior impacts others and vice versa, we are in continuous transformation where we have the chance to decide which is the better way to move ahead and what kind of people is adequate for us.

Collective Censorship?

The world is in constant change and transformation and at the same time the ideologies to perceive it change too.

Lately I’ve felt surprised and perhaps upset about some news focused on censoring some Tv shows and movies because those are a bad influence and promote negative messages. That is the case of Pepe Le Pew a character from the Warner Brothers which was canceled because promoted rape culture”(https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6239335745001) or Speedy Gonzalez due to “whose friends helped popularize the corrosive stereotype of the drunk and lethargic Mexicans.” (https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/pepe-le-pew-cancel-culture).

There are other cartoons like Peter Pan or Dumbo which were canceled too. In Dumbo, for instance, “the crows and musical number pay homage to racist minstrel shows, where white performers with blackened faces and tattered clothing imitated and ridiculed enslaved Africans on Southern plantations.

While in Peter Pan, the “film portrays Native people in a stereotypical manner that reflects neither the diversity of Native peoples nor their authentic cultural traditions.” (https://www.newsweek.com/disney-plus-dumbo-peter-pan-restrictions-spark-conservative-outrage-1575372)

About all that situation, I believe it’s a delicate issue that can have two-coin sides. One side shows the new generations which are more critical and try to avoid behaviors like xenophobia, racism, chauvinism, sexism, etc. Promoting constant equality and respect for their rights. On the other hand, those Tv shows were recorded many years ago and many of us grew up watching them and nowadays we don’t have aggressive, violent or discriminatory behaviors because many of us had the support of someone at moment to see them or simply the messages of these shows were not so negative to introject offensive behaviors.

I really wish for a better world where the rights are respected, and we have equality and wellness but I believe the way to cancel and censorship every program isn’t the way. Every day I hear that a new program was censored or the story of a movie will be changed but at the same time as a paradox new songs or movies are released an many of them have negative and inappropriate messages but contrary to all prognostics, they have many followers.

Then, we’re living in a world of contrasts and divergences. I respect the different points of view but to cut with everything that was part of my childhood dramatically and drastically is disappointing, overwhelming and inconceivable. I believe that not just a TV Show shape your personality there are many other factors that influence us like family, school, friends, community and your own system of values and beliefs. As I said I don’t want to generate controversy. This writing is just to give my opinion about the way that the new generation is facing their reality.  If you have an opinion about this topic, I would like to know about it.
