Please give reason, why do you think, you are an optimist or a pessimist?

I'm neither an optimist or a pessimist. I am a realist. I understand that life is hard, you don't always get what you want or what you need. I also know that life has great gifts like love and friendship that at one point or another we are blessed with them. Life is a constant ride full of ups and downs and I never expect the good or the bad, I just take what I get and make the best of it.

I'm an optimist. We don't know why we are on the planet or why we are conscious in the first place. I like to believe that we are here for a reason, or plan, if you will. So everything that happens, positive or negative, is all part of the plan. So I just roll with it... even as horrific as it may be.

Whenever I work towards fulfilling a desire, I am an optimist and whenever I hate my desire, I am a pessimist. Really depends on the desire vis-a-vis my self confidence. Being 'small', most of the times it is the latter!
Judging by your nickname, should I assume you are an optimist? Well, names can often mislead, no?

I optimistically like to think I'm an optimist... but realistically.. I'm afraid I'm a pessimist...

Once a person said that he heard that in Russia someone exchanged a person for a six pack of Pepsi. A child that was around asked why everybody react in disbelieve and I said to her because -if true- that means that they value so high a Pepsi as equal to a human being. Another person found my response interesting because she thought that the answer was that they value a person so low as equal to a Pepsi.
I'm determine to make a conscious effort to be an optimist, positive and tolerant person. I am trying...

I am a pessimist because either I am always right or pleasantly surprised... which is a very optimistic perspective on pessimism, I suppose.

I am an optimist... because having a negative outlook on life (pessimism) never benefited anyone. It is healthier, and more fulfilling to be an optimist... to see the good in the world around you.

Optimist for sure! Life rocks, so it will be a big waste to be an optimist about it
