I once thought that way too until I realized otherwise. Consider this piece a way of encouragement, a method of inducing the power of choice upon these two extremes. If it does not convince, then think of it as a personal expression of eureka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prefer to think of it as a continuum, with the option of running along it freely upon your will. I prefer to see it as a choice that can be made. Sure, there can be extreme cases of either side. The extreme optimist should be the foolhardy one, attempting every single and possible thing and thinking of success. Life for this extremist should be fraught with disappointments. On the other hand, the extreme pessimist would see no point whatsoever to engage in any activities at all as it will inevitably fail. This person, should they even exist, would have thought life meaningless. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which brings me to the main point: that there cannot be any extreme pessimist since they would have given up the ultimate possession they ever had; their life. Which means, that any person living on, cannot possibly be an extreme pessimist as they looked at life as worth living, as a gamble worth taking, and ironically IS an spectrum of optimism. As such, I hope everyone have the ability to move up the continuum, towards optimism, by looking at it this way. That this optimistic streak in them can be further developed in other sense, in other activities, in other pursuit. The name of whatever responsible for this possible ability to move upwards, I feel, is Hope.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The age-old adage; the glass; half full or half empty? Look at it this way: You can pour more water in to make it totally full.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36168686-116108067830147773?l=a-spot-to-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://a-spot-to-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/116108067830147773/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=36168686&amp;postID=116108067830147773&amp;isPopup=true' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36168686/posts/default/116108067830147773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36168686/posts/default/116108067830147773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://a-spot-to-blog.blogspot.com/2006/10/pessimism-versus-optimism.html' title='Pessimism versus Optimism'/><author><name>LeonAng</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00086235035821520369</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry></feed>
