It is easier to feel better for what we do than acting better for what we feel. Expectations and positive thoughts have an influence on daily behavior, on real achievements and advances. Can the positive attitude help to get out of the crisis? Are the attitudes negative or positive causes or consequences? You can pray whatever you want, but it's best to strive to make things right.
I'm pessimistic because if I thought everything was going to be better, I'd be waiting for it to happen.
