Pessimistic attitude is the opposite of optimistic attitude, expecting and
assuming the outcomes of future events to be negative.
I saw some online tests to make sure whether you are optimistic or
pessimistic. One of the questions was: If you see a deer wandering in the
forest, why? And the answers include: 1. she's worried about her child. 2.
She's lost. 3. She's enjoying the forest.

Romney’s Optimism Will Win
It’s no year for a big-government pessimist.
By Larry Kudlow
Putting aside all the voter models, there’s one overlooked point worth
making with Election Day at hand. Most times in American politics, optimists
win, and pessimists lose. I know that’s not always the case. And sometimes
it’s hard to distinguish between the two. But in this election, I believe
Mitt Romney is the optimist, and Barack Obama is th... 阅读全帖 |

二零一八年一月廿九日
新聞界的各位朋友
亞洲通訊社日前報導了一些消息，關於中國大陸天主教某些合法主教被教廷要求辭職，
為讓位給非法的，甚或被絕罰的，所謂主教。接着，在媒體上出現了一些不同的陳述和
解釋，相當混亂，大家又知道我早前曾去羅馬，就都來問我能否為事件作出一些澄清。
其實去年十月汕頭莊建堅主教已收到教廷的指示，他請我幫他聯絡教廷。我托人親手把
他的信送去傳信部，又請傳信部部長轉交一份副本給教宗，不過我不知道那副本是否到
達教宗枱上。還好那時韓大輝總主教還在羅馬，他向教宗道別時有機會和他談了汕頭及
閩東的事，原來教宗並不知情，且答應韓總主教他會關注。
聽了韓總主教轉告我教宗說的話我放心了。但十二月發生的事使我更加吃驚。當傷心而
年老的莊主教請我把他對「教廷赴北京代表團」所傳訊息向教宗回應的信傳去羅馬，我
當然一口答應了。但我有什麼辦法能保證他的信能到教宗手裡（我自己的許多信也不肯

為能肯定教宗聽到我們的聲音，我毫不猶疑決定去羅馬走一趟。我一月九日晚上啟程，
