welcome to the inspirational living podcast. Today's podcast has been edited and adapted from the essay optimism by Helen Keller, who, despite being both deaf and blind, lived a life of unbridled optimism and accomplishment. Could we choose our environment and were designed in human undertaking synonymous with endowment. All people would, I suppose, be optimists. Certainly, most of us regard happiness is the proper end of all earthly enterprise, the will to be happy animates every individual, no matter their profession, education, or social station, no matter how dull or how me, nor how wise we are. We feel that happiness is our.

indisputable right. It is curious to observe what different ideals of happiness people cherish and in what singular places they look for this wellspring of their life. Many look for it in the hoarding of riches. Some the pride of power and others in the achievements of art or literature. A few seek it in x.

duration of their own minds or in the search for knowledge. Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon? How happy they would be lacking this gift or that circumstance they would be miserable if happiness is to be so measured. I who cannot hear or sea have every reason to sit in a corner with folded, hands and weep. If I am happy, in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creative optimism is worth hearing. Indeed, I feel called to rise up and gladness of conviction and testify to the goodness

Life once I knew the depth, where no hope was in darkness, lay on the face of all things. Then love came and set myself free once I knew only darkness and stillness. Now I know hope enjoy one so fretted and beat myself against the wall that shut me, and now I rejoice in the consciousness that I can think Act and attain Heaven here on earth. My life was without past or future death. The pessimists would say, was a consummation devoutly to be wished but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand, clutched at emptiness and my heart, leaped to the rapture of living night fled before the day of thought.

And love and joy and hope came up in a passion of obedience to knowledge. Can anyone who has escaped such captivity? Who has felt the thrill and glory of freedom. The pessimists my early experience was thus a leap from bad to good. Even if I try it, I could not checked the momentum of my first leap out of the dark. with the first word I used intelligently, I learned to live to think to hope. Darkness cannot shut me and again. I have glimpse of the shore and can now live by the hope of reaching so my captain,

some is no mild and unreasoning satisfaction. A poet once said that I must be happy because I do not see the bare cold present but live in a beautiful dream. I do live in a beautiful dream, but that dream is the actual the present not cold, but worn not bear, but furnished with a thousand blessings. The very evil which the poet supposed would be a cruel disillusionment is necessary to the fullest knowledge of joy only by contact with evil could I have learned to feel like

contrast, the beauty of truth and love, and goodness it is mistake always to contemplate the good and ignore the evil, because by making people neglectful it lets in disaster. If there is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference, it is not enough to say that the twenty first century is the best age in the history of mankind and to take refuge from the EU. Of the world in a serial dreams of good, how many good men and women in the nineteenth century, prosperous and contented round and saw not but good, while millions their fellow men and women were bartered and sold like cattle. No doubt there were comfortable optimists who thought wilberforce some meddlesome fanatic when he was working with might and main to free the slaves. I distrust. The rash optimism in this country

the cries hooray we're number one. This is the greatest nation on earth. When there are grievances, a call loudly for a remedy, that is a false optimism. Optimism that does not count the cost is like a house built on sand. We must understand evil and be acquainted with sorrow before we can call ourselves an optimist and expect others to believe that we have reason for the faith that is in us. I know what evil is once or twice. I wrestled with it in for a time felt its chilling touch on my life, so I speak with knowledge when I, say that evil is of no consequence, except as a sort of mental gymnastics, for the very reason that I have come in contact with it. I am

Truly an optimist. I can say with conviction that the struggle which evil necessitates is one of the greatest blessings and makes a strong patient help for men and women. It lets us into the soul of things and teaches us that, although the world is full of suffering it off was full of the overcoming of it. My optimism then, does not rest on the absence of evil, but on a and belief in the preponderance of good and a willing, effort always to cooperate with the good and it may prevail. I try to increase the power that god has given me to see the best in everything and everyone and make that best a part of my life. The world is sown with good, but unless I turned my glad thoughts into practical living until my own field

I cannot reap a colonel of good. Thus, my optimism is grounded in two worlds. Myself and what is about me. I demand that the world be good and low. It obeys I proclaims world good and facts arranged themselves to prove my proclamation overwhelmingly. True to what is good. I open the doors of my being in jealously shut them away from what is bad, such as the forests of this beautiful and wilful conviction. It carries itself in the face of all opposition. I am never discouraged by absence of good. I never can be argued in the hopelessness. Doubt and mistrust are the mere panic of a timid imagined.

mission, which the steadfast heart will conquer and the large mine transcend every day, I find myself looking forward with beating heart in bright anticipation to what the future holds of activity. For me, My share in the work of the world may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious. The desire and will to work, is optimism itself for work. Production rings. I thought of chaos makes the individual a world an order and order is optimism. Despite my handicaps, I can work. And because I loved the labour with my head in my hands. I am an optimist. In spite of it all. I used to think that I would. be thwarted in my desire to do something useful? But I have

that, though, the ways in which I can make myself useful are few. The work opened he is endless, Charles darwin. Could work only half an hour at a time yet in many diligent half hours he laid the foundations of a new science. I long to accomplish agree and noble task, but it is my chief duty in joy to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great noble. It is my service to think how I can best fulfil the demands that each day makes upon me and to rejoice that others can What I cannot the world is moved along not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker and that thought alone suffices to guide me in this dark and wide world. I love the good that others do

For their activity is an assurance that whether I can help or not the true and the good will stand sure. I trust and nothing that happens disturbs my trust. I recognize the beneficence of the power which we all worship as supreme order fate, the great spirit, nature god. I recognize this power in the sun that makes all things grow and keeps life of foot

I make a friend of this indefinable force in straight away. I feel glad brave and ready for any lot the universe may decree. For me, this is my religion of optimism. Optimism, then, is a fact within my own heart, but as I look out upon life, my heart meets no contradiction. The outward world justifies my inward universe of good all through the years I spent in college. My reading was a continuous disk.

very good in literature philosophy in history. I find the mighty witnesses to my faith. Philosophy is the history of a deaf blind person writ large from the talks of socrates, up through plato, berkeley and caught philosophy records the efforts of human intelligence to be free of the clogging material world and fly forth into a universe of pure idea, a deaf blind person out of fine special meaning in play. Those ideal world, these things which you see and hear and touch or not, the reality of realities but imperfect manifestations of the idea, the principle, the spiritual. The idea is the truth. The rest is delusion. Philosophy gives to the mind prerogative of seeing truth embarrass us into a realm where I

who in blind, am not different from you who see when I learn from berkeley that your eyes receive an inverted image of things which your brain, unconsciously corrects. I began to suspect that the is not a very reliable instrument. After all, and I felt this one who had been restored to equality with others glad not because the senses avail them so little, but because, in god's eternal world mind in spirit avail. So. Much it seemed to me that last we had been written for my special consolation whereby. even with some modern teachers who apparently thing that I was intended as an experimental case for their especial instruction. My small voice of individual experience joins in the declaration,

The philosophy that the good is the only world and that world is a world of spirit also a universe where order is all where an unbroken logic holds the parts together where disorder defines itself is nonexistence where evil. As saint augustine held, is delusion and therefore Not less from philosophy, I have learned that we see only shadows.

And no only in part and that all things change, but the mine, the unconquerable mind encompasses all truth embraces the universe, as it is converts the shadows, two realities and makes tumultuous changes scene but moments in any eternal silence and that evil is but a pause on the way to good, though with my hand, I grasp only a small part of the universe. With my spirit, I see the whole and in my thought I can encompass the beneficence laws by which it is governed. The confidence and trust which these conceptions inspire. Teach me to rest safe in my life is in a fate and protect me from spectral. Doubts and fears bless. It are. We have not seen and yet have believed
