Optimism doesn't imply that they will put up with any condition, it's just a positive outlook on the current situation. You can be upset with something, just don't let it ruin your day to the point of stress on your heart and outbursts of anger. Optimistic people suck, but only cause I'm a little jealous. :)

Pessimists think they preparing themselves for something in particular to go wrong, but in doing so often create themselves an environment where everything goes wrong. Trust me I know.

I am rather pessimistic regarding pessimism.

[MagiMysteryTour]

A lot of people who call themselves optimists simply want to deny that anything is wrong. They become like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Only if you allow yourself to be aware that real problems exist is there any hope you're going to do anything to fix the problems. A lot of potheads are complete optimists, but also completely inept at doing anything to avoid real dangers.

@jerry122063 "Expect the best and hope you're right". Better.

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

A particular AIDS patient is optimistic. Someone in perfect health is utterly negative. Barring an accident, who's going to live longer?

@MarijnStevens I suggest Cosmic Trigger 2 first then 3. Cosmic Trigger 1 is good but not as good as 2 and 3. Prometheus Rising is my favorite of the 3 books, I plan on reading it again. I do this in conjunction with Ulysses by James Joyce and Perennial Philosophy by Aldous Huxley.
