Optimism or Realism

OPTIMISM OR REALISM to think independently. In such a state, the unrealistic expectations of parents like the father mentioned above become incongruous; they fail to materialize. Parents harbour deep affection for their children, and due to this emotional love, they become prone to wishful thinking regarding their children’s futures. They nurture aspirations for their children that defy the laws of nature. Virtually every father is afflicted by such wishful thinking. Yet, these fantasies remain unrealized in the real world. Parents should adopt a realistic outlook to avoid disappointment regarding their children.
