Philosophical optimism
Philosophical optimism is the belief that, despite life's challenges and suffering, the universe is fundamentally good or orderly, and that things tend to improve or align toward positive outcomes. It often involves the idea that there is a rational or divine purpose underlying existence, making the best of what is, and trusting that ultimately, things will work out for the best. This perspective encourages resilience and hope, seeing the world not just as it appears, but as potentially meaningful and oriented toward growth and betterment.
