“I’ve never seen a monument erected to a pessimist.” (Paul Harvey) The poster-child of pessimism is said to be the German philosopher, Schopenhauer. After some searching I did find a statue of him in a Frankfurt park. It captures his perpetual frown. Harvey is right. Pessimists don’t get the recognition that comes to optimists, like MLK, Jr. “I have a dream!” Statues are fine…but, more important is why they’ve been created. ;-) Jack
