No pessimism is conceivable without an explicit or silent reference to a better reality that once existed or should exist; and no optimism can be deemed reasonable unless it refers to the overcoming of current evils.
Because if we accept human reality as it was and continues to be, without the slightest desire for this or that change and without harboring any fear or hope regarding its potential transformations, then every pessimistic or optimistic stance becomes unnecessary.
However, such a stance would mean the freezing of the world under the gaze of an infinite mind. Human reality exists and thrives on fears and hopes, on positive and negative evaluative judgments that are essentially linked to it, and is not merely a result but also the driving force of its inner shifts and transformations.
