I’ve thought about this quite often. I’m always trying to be an optimist. Always hoping that things will work out for the best eventually if not immediately. I’m not saying I don’t think about what could go wrong. It’s natural that the thought occurs, but I force myself to not think of it and instead think of how something could be positive.
But at times, while talking to people, I think is this the right approach? People think about the future and plan. I avoid thinking of the future, avoid thinking of what could go wrong. As a result I don’t prepare myself. I tell people that chances are that things won’t work out the way you plan, so why worry about it now? I mean, worry now, and worry later. isn’t it better to relax now and worry when you actually have to. 
I see bad things happening all around me, but instead of criticizing the culprit, I wonder what was he thinking while committing such an act? what forced him into this? what went wrong in his life that made him this way?
I’m afraid that by not seeing the truth for what it is, closing my eyes to reality, I’m hiding myself inside a bubble where I think no evil exists. But the problem is just because I refuse to see the evil, doesn’t mean that evil doesn’t exist or that it won’t hunt me down and prove me wrong. What if I realize it too late?
Okay, so I’m realizing now that right in the start I said I try to think positive, and this entire post is about what could go wrong, that’s quite negative. =/
