Introduction of Pessimactivity

We Use Strategies to Protect Self-Esteem If We Think That it’s Important

Being active alone is not enough for us to struggle to the end. When our self-esteem is undermined, it is time to consider whether to give up or not. Perhaps going to fresh fields and pastures new can inspire those people who do not stand the indignity any longer to look for a better life. We are great to be always ready to serve others but it does not represent that our lifelong mission is to be physically and/or spiritually hurt. It is admitted that human life needs food and water to keep up. However we have more than those. We live with something intangible inside us and our passions are not only affected by food and water. Self-respect may be the staple of life. When we are demeaned, belittled or insulted, it is spontaneous to lose our composure. As we have it, we have to attempt to recognize its role in our life span. The relationship between nutriment and life can be studied in biology. Why not establish a new discipline to explore the rapport between our intact system and the meaning of life?

There are many tactics to safeguard our self-esteem but there is one we would not like to select. It is the supreme sacrifice. In case someone takes it into account, he or she must be confined to a stalemate. We have some issues to determine occasionally and go in a dilemma as to whether to give up the status quo or to move on with grumbles and grievances. Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Anybody who has stepped on the crossroads feels hard to make an appropriate and a proper decision. The opportunity cost of gaining something and losing another thing seems to be offset by each other. Unfortunately human decisions are not as simple or straightforward as mathematical calculations. One determination can trigger off a sequence of consequences including passions, emotions and substantial needs. Of course, mathematics is not an easy branch of study.

Now let’s try to utter the following scenario. “I abandon myself and you cannot have me. It is a strategy to treat you and the last resort to help me. I cannot win and shall not let you win from me. I lose a considerable amount but you have nothing to lose. However I know how to respond to your torture acting on me. When I have decided to disappear, you have no methods or diabolical tricks to hurt me any more.” Did you ever want to speak like that? Perhaps these words are often embedded in the mind when people are about to resign from all their duties and get rid of their employers’ shameless means. Are they pessimistic to quit or active to react? Being active to protect self-esteem is our instinct that cannot be denied or eradicated. It is unfortunate to meet bad luck but we have power, freedom and prowess to discern our avenue in the dark. Maybe I was one of them and qualified to say something on how to be active in life.
