Optimist Or Pessimist

[metal17]

Hail!
I am listening to Nevermore's In Memory EP these days an well I'm trippin off as usual! Anyhow I'm just wondering how many of you are optimists or pessimists towards everything. Just thought this might be something to talk about while waiting for the enemies of reality! I think I'm both because for me it depends on the situation and how high your self esteem is. How about you all?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the optimist understands why the world's gone down the drain
the pessimist never bends, constricting thoughts in vain
from the pessimist's point of view there's nothing we can do
as I paint this picture gray and taste the pain
I'll play the optimist

Cheers!
So foolish...men who say they don't care! They'll be gone anyway...

yeah, its trandy these days.

 

[The-Sentenced]

To say it with a quote:

"I am no optimist. I try to be a realist and I wonder if I'm living to far out of bounds."

Now you can guess from which band it is. (It's not Nevermore)

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

I can be both, I guess. It just depends on the situation. But I've adopted a sort of self-defeatist attitude and found that what I really hope to happen doesn't happen because I hoped for it to happen. You can just call me indifferent.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

I pretend to be an agonized, self-loathing pessimist, but I'm cursed with an eternal wellspring of hope. I'm getting prettty good at expecting the worst, though.

 

[Captain Beard]

I was told by a Psychologist that I'm more Optimist than Pessimist. What the fuck? How did that happen?

No, I'm scarily close to realist, but I have a very very dim view of human nature.

 

[Chromatose]

ex-pessimist,

now optimist

maybe too much, heh ...

 

[neal]

well i hope for the best and expect the worst, becuase the worst usually happens anyway. so i dunno, "realistic optimist"?

[PoisnGodMachine]

it's not black and white for me....i can be both, like you said just depends on the situation or what i'm dealing with

 

[Chuut-Riit]

Yeah and I respect all the people which walk with open eyes through the world and are optimistic though.

@Break zero: Huh?! Whhat was this supposed to be ?

 

[Break Zero]

sorry, forgot ti mention i pretty much agree with you

 

[Chuut-Riit]

Yep, nice to know...
Hehe, well, such things can happen if you are hasty
