I'm optimistic about life in general, but pessimistic about people.
So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
about another group that actually does something
to improve their lives.

I'm a pessimistic optimist. I prefer to be called a realist.

I expect the worse, plan for the worse, but find myself pleasantly surprised when something good happens.

When you stop and consider how much you can control your life, when you choose to, things become a lot more pleasant. Originally Posted by Brachiisaurus

I just knew clicking on this thread would be a let down....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

mescaline is a very optimistic drug, like you'll be walking along and decide to take that bridge over there, go to step onto the bridge and realize you're falling down the enbankment of a river and had only imagined a bridge where you wanted one to be, but thats ok because now you're surrounded by mermaids with sea turtle bodies, but humans heads, arms and legs and they carry you down the river and out to sea.....then you have a flash and realize you're just laying in the kiddie pool of your hotel on a blowup sea turtle floatie....and you've pissed your pants, thats probably when you thought the turmaid had put her hand down your shorts....earlier....

I figured it out about 5 years ago. Originally Posted by largepkg

I don't just breeze through life, I charge through it.
You're probably the same.
I'm way more likely to be in a good mood than a bad one, becuase I only let fear come once in a while, not every day like most people. I make my decisions, not fear.So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
