It was brought to my attention earlier, "Well, what's the point of being an optimist? You get all your hopes up for something and sometimes it crashes and fails and you get disappointed."
I had a quick answer for that one. First off, I don't get disappointed to the point where I've ever become pessimistic, it's just not in my nature. However, that answer doesn't fly for all of us optimists, so here is what said: If you look at it this way, pessimists are all kinds of disappointment anyway- they believe nothing good will come, everything will go wrong, and they won't believe in themselves because they believe it leads to failure. Optimists look on the brighter side, have aspirations, might dream big, but because they dream big and believe themselves to be capable, they make things capable. If one does fail, you've lost nothing then haven't you? You were happy doing whatever it was you were to accomplish, you tried, and if you failed, there's always trying again or doing something different- quite frankly, an optimist doesn't give a shat. Like killing a cockroach. Doesn't happen.
But with all that happiness, wouldn't the slightest of failures every now and then make it worth it? Being a pessimist seems a little disappointing at all times.
Right?
