Some psych's said there's healthy optimism. Show me that there are such people who maintain this throughout their lives, and I'll say that it works for a very small proportion of people.
Mostly, the let down turns optimists into bigger cynics than my crazy family!

you want your idea of the world to be as close to reality as possible. because you will make better predictions and decisions. an erroneous view of the world will lead to problems.
live in harmony with reality.
