One of the constants in life is that results are always being produced. If you don't consciously decide what results you want to produce and represent things accordingly, then some external trigger - a conversion, a TV show, whatevr - may create states that creates behaviors that do not support you. Life is like a river. It's moving, and you can be at the mercy of the river if you don't take deliberate, conscious action to steer yourself in a direction you have predetermined. If you don't plant the mental and physiological seeds of the results you want, weeds will grow automatically. If we don't consciously direct our own minds and states, our enviornment may produce undesirable haphazard states. The results can be disastrous. Thus it's critical that - on a daily basis - we stand guard at the door of our mind, that we know how we are consitently representing things to ourselves. We must daily weed our garden.

Did anyone actually read the article? Or are we just going "yeah being a pessimist rocks"?

Because that's actually not what the article states at all. It simply argues against overly positive thinking as therapy for people with self-esteem issues.
