Fantastic piece. Resiliency is the cornerstone of survival, yet until I read this I'd not put enough thought into it. The idea that the optimists in war were not the ultimate survivors is so much food for thought. I think that the topic I'm always hitting upon, compassion, irritates me in public discourse, because it's not fortified with the truth of reality thus it falls more into the optimist's camp. But it need not be this way, of course. Thank you, for this read!
