He recommends that those who are downhearted are not weak, however instead have a solid feeling of wisdom and understanding. They are able to acknowledge the possibility for failing as well as disappointment, as well as are as a result more ready for the most awful. Pessimism is not an indicator of weak point, but rather an indicator of strength and knowledge. It is a means of protecting oneself from the possibility for frustration as well as failure. Pessimism is not something to be embarrassed of, but instead something to be accepted as well as respected.
