An Optimistic World

How much better would the world be if everyone adopted a much more optimistic view of everything. For example if you were a doctor who has to tell a set of parents that their son died and you went to them and said "I regret to inform you that your son has passed away. I'm sorry for your loss." and left it at that, of course they are going to be upset because you've offered them no upside.
Lets suppose now this same doctor went to these same parents, with the same news and started off with the same two statements as above but this time added a twist. This time the doctor added "But hey, think of it this way at least when hes 23 youll never have to bail him out of jail for the statutory rape of a 12 yr old boy. Ya know?"In that scenario the parents would have something to be happy about.
Lets take it a step further with someone really willing to go the extra mile, this time he says "I regret to inform you that your son has died, I am sorry for your loss. But you know, think about all the money in college tuition you'll be saving...Huh...Right? Instead of wasting a ton of money on a degree that he'd never use or on a school that he'll flunk out of before graduating you can get some R and R at the beach house you bought instead. Awesome!" Then the doctor just stands there with a goofy grin on his face nodding yes and says "HIGH FIVE" or "OH YEA, UP HIGH" That one is alot funnier if you picture Will Farrell as the doctor.

We've examined this scenario as it pertains to a dead son but its not limited to only that situation, lets change this from a dead son to a dead daughter. "Hey, sorry your daughter died but it could be worse. One day you could have a few peaceful minutes to yourself and you decide to cruise the Internet for some porn to, you know, rub one out cuz your cunt of a wife hasn't spread her legs for you in like 6 mos cuz shes prob fucking her boss. WHORE! So anyway there you are finally taking care of business in peace, and, oh yea this is years and years from now and you've watched so much porn that the only way you an get it up now is by some real freaky shit. So anyway, there you are getting the job done and then all of a sudden on the computer screen your daughter, who's like 19 at the time, appears and she proceeds to get tag teamed on one end by her cousin Billy, who's black, and on the other end theres a German Shepherd. And you are so far into your procedure that you cant stop yourself and you finish just as the German Shepherd shits all over your daughters chest. So you should stop your crying and be thankful that you will never have to deal with any of that." Then the doctor should angrily storm away muttering "Fucking faggot" That may be taking it a bit too far.

So these are clear examples how adopting a glass is half full type of outlook on life the world will be a much better place.
