It has recently come to my attention, as it has many times in the past, that being a bearshitter or someone who looks at the glass half empty is too much for many people to handle.
A bearshitter can be one of the most positive people you know. The problem is how they may communicate in society and also how others will bring out that character in someone.
On the matter of news. Negative headlines and dire stories draw in readers. This is as old as man has been communicating.
Think of your evening news. There are seemingly more stories that are told simply for shock factor. It is this shock factor that keeps some repeat viewers glued and draws in new viewers. Then on the weekends barring any celebrity overdose or disaster the news suddenly lightens up and focuses on stories and events that are fun, light, happy, and loving.
One reason for this; on the weekend people want to forget the real world and focus on the glass half full stuffs that life has to offer.
Back to a bearshitter mentality. I proclaim that most, not all, but most bearshitters have a deeper appreciation for life. This appreciation causes one to look constantly to the future or horizon for a stormy event that might interrupt that satisfaction of life.
It is precisely why you should appreciate bearshitters. Without them we might not even be here.
In politics it is a bearshitter who realizes that he may have to reverse earlier decisions on lowering taxes.
It is a bearshitter in medicine who looks for the myriad of possibilities to save your life.
A world filled with people who had no care for bearshitter matters, allowed the theft of taxpayer funds, cut taxes, and went to war on a credit card is precisely why we are where we are today.
Furthermore, a politician or citizen who allowed corporate welfare, trade agreements that shipped jobs offshore, and the many other manipulations by their corporate masters is precisely why as a nation we are dead broke and not flush. It is partly why we lack in education, are fat, diabetic, and losing our edge as the greatest country in the history of man.
In closing, a person who does not take advantage of good times, a person who shuns the better things in life for want of security, safety, etc is a true bearshitter and negative to the point that they should live in a cave.
Remember what mama said “always prepare for a rainy day.”
A favorite saying that may not get out often enough is that it is always best to hope and prod for the best outcome, but be absolutely prepared and mindful for the worse case scenario.
To all those who say that this or that can not be kept in check is precisely the type of person who shits on a bearshitter and has no real answer other than going with status quo. That mentality allows for the behaviors and occurrences to exist…..ones that should not exist. For we are smart enough to be at least close to sentient.
As a last note; most bearshitters can see all that is good, positive, and lovely. But it is a bearshitter who knows it can be better if we unite together to “make it so.”
This bearshitter has afforded himself a morning of swim and play with the beloved dog and will now take an early lunch break. Perhaps a little golf later on this fine sunny day.
