What an average joe would think, is that the world would change into an emotional one. But if we look into it pretty much in-depth, we would realize that this wouldn't be the case. Here's why..
If everyone is not optimistic, people would have thought that minor, but yet fortunate happenings would be great, and not treat it as something as that should already have been there. On the the other hand, when we are actually optimistic, we tend to think the opposite, that people would instead think why such minor, yet fortunate happenings do not happen on him/her, since we remain optimistic, thinking that fortunate things would actually tend to happen on us. The theory behind it, is still about "Great hopes, leading to greater disappointment".
Another main reason, why the world could actually be a better place, is how people would appreciate things around us more, or become more cautious. If we do not carry the mindset that we won't be so 'fortunate' for unlucky things to befall on us, we would actually be more careful, and at times, appreciate how the safety around us is given to us so naturally. Compared to the current world, where optimism is instilled, people tend to wait for things to happen, before appreciation starts coming from the bottom of their hearts. Until we look at the state of living condition in Africa, then we know how fortunate we actually are. Until we happen to get unlucky and say for example, get robbed, then we know that we should be more cautious right from the start. Not being born with a cautious mindset, could have been a good thing as well.
This conclusion I'm giving now, is actually pretty weird. Judging from what I have just typed, and what you have just read, with the mind with a inborn trait of optimism, you would think that what I'm talking doesn't make sense. But read it again, with a mind with not that much of optimism. :D

Narrative writing without punctuation marks
A wrong step and I fell down and down and down with no more hope in this meaningless but yet fulfilling life I had lived in this colorful but yet boring world that I was born into by my beloved mother who suffered nine enduring months carrying my heavy weight around everywhere she went and ended up suffering from my attempt to enter this world but it was all worth the pain that she suffered for my birth into this world and I had enough of these thoughts as I realized how near I was to the end of the cliff which marked my death from broken bones and excessive loss of blood.
If same-sex marriage will ever become legal in Singapore
No. I do not find that same-sex marriage would ever become legal in Singapore.
Singapore has been affected by the rich traditions of different races and religions. Unlike the views of the people in the other part of the globe, it is still a hard thing to be accepted by the older generations with their traditional views. Even nowadays in Singapore, what the younger generation defines as 'acceptable', a relationship that involves a older female and a younger male, is still unacceptable by the older generations. In fact, the idea of same-sex marriage may not even be accepted by the younger generation. Me myself, do not agree with such a concept. And it's probably because of the environment that I grew up in.
Singapore is largely different from other countries. Countries like Australia and America may be accept such actions, as to them, human have their own rights to choose what they want to do. It's just like a case example of how casual sex is actually common in other countries, but not in Singapore. It's because of the difference of views and concepts towards such actions.
Furthermore, Singaporeans are actually not supposed to be exposed to the culture of same-sex relationships. Singapore's censorship is sensitive to such a topic in many ways. Television programs were not allowed to show anything with such related contents. Laws were also passed for same-sex(or more commonly known as 'gays') to be labelled as criminals and gay sex is actually illegal in Singapore, or at least, as long as it is not behind close doors. Censorship in Singapore, also includes the content of speech from a individual, or the press. Compared to other countries, what is considered 'ok' to be said and what is considered 'alright' over here is different. And as such, the environment one in Singapore grows up in is much more different compared to an individual that grew up in another country.
