There’s an article recently posted about a violin built in a concentration camp.

Talk about optimism…

The point is that someone in bad circumstances can focus on the task and the horror of what they endure can subside.

It’s definitely possible to choose optimism and end up improving one’s situation.

There is something to be said about being able to focus on something other than your immediate surroundings. This one guy[1], for example, was apparently focused on the task of infiltrating Auschwitz.
