Read this paragraph and answer the question below.
Why our Sense of Perspective is Important
According to Marty Seligman, the way we explain both good and bad events to ourselves affects whether we will have an optimistic or pessimistic perspective of what happens in our lives. If we assume that both good and bad events are permanent, we are more likely to become depressed, especially if bad things happen. On the other hand, if we assume that both good and bad events are temporary, that all things will pass, we are more likely to feel optimistic and positive about our world. In addition, a healthy, balanced sense of perspective helps us understand that one good or bad event will not change everything in our lives.
