Outlook on life

I would submit because optimism is what has made this country as great as it is / was. Without optimism about the future and what can be, we will become another 3rd world country without hope... And I for one have sure seen many, many formerly optimistic people become severely pessimistic over the past 5 years...

Last time I checked the "real world" aint all warm & fuzzy....nothing wrong with accepting reality...We are ALL going to die. There are things in life we have no control over.......and for me that simply means whether the glass is half full or half empty is pretty unimportant...
