* I'm a pessimist wearing the cloak of an optimist. I believe
      in belief, although I don't always believe it myself.

      [12]Kenneth Udut [13]Victor Enesi Ipemida Thanks I actually
      didn't realize this myself until the other day. A female
      friend of mine from long ago asked me some questions about
      herself. I gave her my thoughts.

      Then she summarized, "So, are you saying I'm a "glass half
      full" kinda gal? My husband hears me complaining about the
      state of the world and he says, "That's just how it is, it's
      just how people are."

      I really had to think about it.

      Is she an optimist after all? am I a pessimist? Where did I
      fit?

      I always believed myself an optimist. But then I realized at
      that moment, that SHE'S an optimist wearing the cloak of
      pessimism. Listening to her you'd think she was the most
      pessimistic person on the planet.

      But she's not. She just couldn't see it.

      And so, I realized that I'm actually a PESSIMIST wearing the
      cloak of optimism.

      Yet, we're both searching for optimism, just through
      different means.

      I try to learn something new about myself daily. That "rate
      of change" thing is a good one.

      [18]Kenneth Udut In short, the optimist to the core, pushes
      away pessimism with the sheer force of their optimism. When
      something sounds good, they believe it and go with it
      completely. They're quicker to trust, even though they don't
      always think so or see it. They complain a lot because, at
      the core, they believe the world shouldn't be as it is...
      and they really believe it can get better.

      But a pessimist to the core, pushes away pessimism by
      HEALING: patching up the pessimism with a coating of
      optimism, or digging DEEP to the cancer of pessimism and
      extracting it... putting ointment in the wounds, all the
      while saying, "You'll be fine!" until the patient believes
      it... all the while thinking, "I hope the patient doesn't
      die".

      A pessimist _hopes_ it gets better, but doesn't expect it.
