Pessimism/Optimism

Just change the way you look at things and even the worst can be changed into the best. Read ‘EVIL’ the other way round and it becomes ‘LIVE’.

Read this Poem Called “The Lost Generation”…

“The Lost Generation” Could be Read Backwards to Get Exactly Opposite Meaning. Yes, You heard it right.

When read backwards, the poem turns into an optimistic view.

There is hope.
It is foolish to presume that
My generation is apathetic and lethargic.
It will be evident that
My peers and I care about this Earth.
No longer can it be said that
Environmental destruction will be the norm.
In the future,
I will live in a country of my own making.
I do not concede that
Thirty years from now, I will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of my divorce.
Experts tell me
This is a quick fix society
But this will not be true in my era.
Families stayed together
Once upon a time
I’ll tell you this:
Family
Is more important than
Work
I have my priorities straight because
My employer will know that
They are not the most important thing in my life.
So in thirty years, I will tell my children
“Money will make me happy”
Is a lie, and
“True Happiness comes from within”
I realize this may be a shock, but
I can change the world.
And I refuse to believe that
I am part of a lost generation.

The uniqueness of the poem is that it turns a pessimistic view of the world into something hopeful and optimistic if we only cared to look at it in a different way – that is just simply read it backwards.

So simple… 😛
