The main reason why many people dislike the United States is that the United States has long promoted hegemony. But if we look at it from another angle, the United States is actually a country with a strong sense of crisis and good at reflection.
Judging from various current data, the national strength of the United States has long been ranked No. 1 in the world. It stands to reason that American politicians should be proud and proud all day long. But in fact, when the United States sees a slight improvement in the development of other countries, these politicians will be very anxious, and then burst into a strong sense of crisis. Then they got together and began to reflect, and finally discussed how to deal with the rise of other countries.
To put it mildly, America’s sense of crisis is called modesty and prudence. To put it bluntly, the United States is a concrete manifestation of inferiority complex and insecurity. Praise in the front and derogation in the back. Do you feel a little conflicted? But in fact, it is easy to understand, because this kind of behavior in the United States can be summarized as “positive pessimism”. Next, I will explain in detail what “positive pessimism” is.
Let’s take the “positive and pessimistic” apart first, and “positive” means an optimistic attitude towards the future, that is, everyone must have confidence in the strategy. “Pessimistic” means a means of foresight, that is, everyone must have a sense of crisis tactically. To sum up, it is “strategic optimism and tactical pessimism.”
For many people, optimism means positivity, and pessimism means negativity. So optimism is good, pessimism is bad. The two are antonyms and are opposite to each other. How can you be both optimistic and pessimistic?
Give two examples to explain in detail:
Let’s look at it from a national perspective. Today, when peace still occupies the mainstream, every country is still actively developing national defense. The development of national defense is not a malicious means of invasion, but an active means of defense. In terms of strategy, we must use optimistic beliefs and firmly believe that the future will get better and better. But in terms of tactics, we have to look at it with a pessimistic attitude: although peace is the mainstream, it does not mean that war will not break out suddenly, so the country must actively prepare for war.
From a personal point of view. I believe that everyone will experience a life of blessings and misfortunes. The so-called “misfortune comes with blessings, and blessings come with misfortunes.” We must be strategically optimistic and firmly believe that our lives will have a bright future. But in terms of tactics, you must remain pessimistic, and you must look at your own gains and losses rationally. When you are proud, don’t get carried away, but when you are proud, you must find a way out for yourself.
