    ´´It's called OPTIMISM´´

    In certain cases, that´s simply LYING to oneself.

      Whereas pessimism is just wallowing in one's own suffering like a pig in the mud?

      Optimism is never really lying. For instance: Is it lying to say the glass is half full rather than half empty?

      Buck up. You've GOT to be better than that.

        Yes. I don't like either optimism OR pessimism. I prefer REALISM.

        Is it lying to say the glass is half emppty rather than half full?
