Optimism?
Is being optimistic the same as being happy? I think that being an optimist is seeing that there is always a good side to things. Being happy is transitory. That if we look for the bad in every situation, we will find it there. In the same chaos, we can find solutions, slow or fast, short or long...

Optimism is more of a positive attitude toward a future situation, while happiness is a feeling, or rather an emotion, about a situation in the present.
I think we could well see the former as the fuel that motivates us to view difficulties from a perspective more focused on finding solutions; a mental disposition that can lead us to find the path to happiness. You are quite right when you say that being happy is transitory, because happiness, being an emotion of the present moment, is always subject to change and can vary; “I am happy” can easily be replaced by “I was happy” due to a situation that alters that emotional feeling.

So friend @wlin, I totally share that thought of yours which I am not going to refute. Happiness passes and optimism endures despite difficulties.
An optimistic person may remain with a smile on their face for a long time, while a happy person can maintain their happy face as long as the reason that made them happy lasts. Then if that is a person who does not have optimism in their life, the smile will disappear completely. Until the next reason, which can be infinite in time.
I prefer to be optimistic, it is my favorite tool in life. Especially in these moments that we live in our regions.
There are many of us optimists who continue to give our best every day, having faith and hope that everything can change and improve... Perhaps we are quite naive in this regard, but what else can we do? Moving forward and doing our part while hoping that others will do theirs is all we can do. Sometimes I daydream that everything is different; my optimism allows me to continue believing that one day a change will come that will allow us to live again the dream that those bandits took away from us so long ago... Not everyone will understand what I am saying, but I know you will... I would like to talk openly about it... Something else that has been taken away from us.
Younger people don't know the real difference... Not everything that glitters is gold, and not everything we believe to be good is actually good, and vice versa. Every episode and every stage will always have its good side and its bad side... Nothing is perfect.
I think that by being optimistic we have been able to cope with things. I also have a lot of faith, I have faith that at some point there will no longer be stories, said by the mouths of older adults, who lived in other times.
I have faith that my son, like the children of our brothers, can see the difference between two worlds.
I know the times will come. I am optimistic!
Being optimistic and being happy are totally different things.
I'd say someone feels optimistic when he only looks at the positive side of a situation, while happiness is a state of emotion. I'm mostly optimistic that tomorrow will be great, but it doesn't mean I'm happy unless someone promised me a nice package (lol, I was actually hoping my dad would return home with a package for me tomorrow).

Well, I wish you all the success in the world with the happiness that that package can bring you tomorrow. Always with optimism ahead.
