Welcome to The Honest Optimist
A red pill invites you to scroll for truth.
The pessimist: Half empty
The glass is half empty.
The optimist: Half full
The glass is half full.
The realist: Half empty. Half full.
The glass is half empty and half full.
The Honest Optimist: There is no glass.
There’s only truth. And the truth is good.
The glass and its measurements disappear. The red truth remains and becomes the circle of The Honest Optimist logo.
An inquiry into
things as they are.
The alignment
divide.
Even as truth becomes clearer, we hide from it. More blessed and miserable than ever.
And the widening of the gap is accelerating. In a storm of pride and opinion, it’s more important than ever to learn to see clearly.
there is
no glass
The glass is human perspective—a distorted image of what is. A measuring device.
Truth fills part of it, and the difference becomes a void: the illusion of what might have been. And suddenly, truth’s inherent value is forgotten. Not enough.
The void is suffering.
Truth is
the answer.
Truth is the foundation of human pursuit—whether in science, philosophy, self-improvement, education, or religion.
It’s God, and to be one with it is Heaven. And it’s the essence of what is good—the foundation of morality—the way to happiness, peace, power, and success.
