Un optimisme qui nous sauvera !

L'optimisme semble s'installer à tous niveaux de la société, excepté au sommet, tentant de combattre un pessimisme de rigueur. La Grèce en faillite, la note de l’Italie abaissée, les bourses mondiales qui jouent au Yoyo, le plan Fillon, etc… pas étonnant que le dernier baromètre BVA-BFM-Challenges-Avanquest , publié en ce début de mois, enregistre un pessimisme record depuis la crise de 2008. Ainsi, en ces temps où « morosité » devient le maitre mot et fait la une de tous les médias, juste derrière celui de « rigueur », une tendance semble paradoxalement émerger. Une tendance, enfin pas exactement ; il s’agit davantage d’un état d’esprit, voire pour certains d’un art de vivre, qui anime constamment certaines personnes et n’habitera probablement jamais d’autres. Le fait est que ces dernier temps, cet état d’esprit peut réellement faire du bien. Il s’agit de l’optimisme.
