Ways Of Doing Things Poem by Ali Farah

Ways Of Doing Things



Pessimism cries foul
It says the glass is half empty and complains
It paints a picture of an impossible situation

Optimism applauds
It says the glass is half full and calls for celebration
It forms a mental picture of a possible completion

Pragmatism considers
It says the glass is only half full and gives explanation
It calculates facts and proposes a solution

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Most of the time we applaud optimistic attitudes and discard pessimistic ones. It is good to have an optimistic mental attitude and be hopeful but we forget to encourage the pragmatism way of tackling problems. I believe pragmatism is an optimism with the required discipline.
