Yes, Monty Python has it right:
Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad,
Other things just make you swear and curse,
When you're chewing life's gristle,
Don't grumble,
Give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the light side of life.
[whistle]
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistle]
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin.
Give the audience a grin.
Enjoy it. It's your last chance, anyhow.
So,...
Always look on the bright side of death,
[whistle]
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
[whistle]
Life's a piece of s**t,
When you look at it.
Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true.
You'll see it's all a show.
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And...
Always look on the bright side of life.
Always look on the right side of life.
[whistle]

Yes you're right. It's best to see the positive, try to see the beauty in the world, make the best of any situation but there are times when this is close to impossible. When tragedy strikes, obviously you will need time to grieve. You are human. We can't be happy & strong & perfect all the time. Being human means being vulnerable. Cry when you need to cry. Turn to someone for help & comfort. Just don't let it drag you down & keep you in a rut. It's important to eventually move on & get past it.
Make the most of your life. You can learn to be positive. I struggle with it myself. Sometimes things get me down. Life can throw you some curveballs when you least expect it. You are allowed to have negative feelings sometimes. The important thing is to get back on your feet again and find the beauty in life again. It can be done but it takes work.
Take care.

Hello! I tend to be a dreamer but the realist side of my being rules for the most part. So being the realist I am, I tend to see things in that light... though others would think I'm pessimistic or what not. I am just so bent and rudimentally realistic that I often don't feel very hopeful or optimistic. In some ways I'd like to be, for maybe things would at least feel better... if not actually change the way things go. It's like people want me to change and be more hopeful... and not tell it truthfully... so as to keep their world and lives on such keel. Way I see it friend.

Bad things happen, and it is natural and healthy to feel bad about them. I think that to "look at the bright side of life" is trying to see what the bad incidents in you life have helped you learn, and not dwell on them too much. You cant change the past, so it more productive to look to the future.

I think that the statement is general. Yes, you should, on the whole, look on the brigt side. Sometimes things come up though, and it is hard to look on the bright side. We all have times when a little pessimism is good for us.

we are human and of course life events bring you down occasionally, but it is much better to look on the bright side as often as is possible...i'm usually positive, but today i'm having a hard time.i believe that tomorrow willl be a better day

everything is dual in this world, dark side has its bright one...look for it. and do not condemn anything. Do not worry, you will be considered to be a human by others...may be strange one,not like anyone else, but human...I bet you considering yourself to be different than others? You won't be disappointed with your belief then.

that is not worng at all! life is short so make the most of it. who wants to be glum all day and all the time when you can just be happy and lead a good life. people who are always gloomy lead lonely lives.

The secret of our mind is our mind can only contain one thought at any time. By keeping positive thoughts in your mind, you prevent the negative ones from coming in.
