Is There a Moral Imperative to Optimism?

Not all consequentialists think it's even helpful to buy into this language of right and wrong. So that you don't have to be a virtue thesis in order to feel somewhat alienated from ar moral imperative to do the absolute most good. Another way of looking at it is that we ought to be clearer about distinguishing when we regard an act as the right act, rather the wrong act. And these are really separate things, especially if you are a consequentialist.
