REASONED OPTIMISM There is a foolish optimism just as surely as there is a reasoned optimism. It is easy to say: "All's. for the best in the bast of possible worlds," but a lit- tlrelevel thinking inai~es that saying more ttrrite than true, The Micawberlsh . temperament, which is content to wait for "s'ame- thing to turn. up" instead of setting earnestly to work to turn something up•, is: just, a form of self-deception. But I tun holding a brief for reasoiie-d optimists, because it is a great spur to the best endeavor, just as the fool- ish optimism of a Mioawber is another word. for footling fatuity. Shakespeare was usunil,y just in his generalizations•, tis, for instance, when ho said: "This .conscience doth make cowards of us all" or "A touch of na- ture makes the whole world kin." But lie ilia not always ring so true.'• He said: "The evil that even do lives after them; the good is oft interred with the -ie bones." Thetis •a pess'imis- tiee dying, and all pessimism, in es- sence, is false. This is. The - first seri te'nes is correct; none can deny it. His- tory presents a long record of the baleful and long -enduring effect of evil deeds. I deny that the second statement is true.` At least, if good• suffers burial it enjoys an abso1ute11 certain i�e•sur- rection. We used to sing: "Kind words can never die. " That Is not Shakespearean; but it is true. His- tory shows that the eternal, efficacy of gaga is a far bigger reality than the permanent effect of evil. Th'e•-n'ian who said "Truth is mighty and shall prevail" said a big thing, as big as itis true. We need to take long views wl ere matters of inffuence are concerned.
