I don't believe in pessimism. If something doesn't come up the way you want, forge ahead. If you think it's going to rain, it will.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's probably a little greater case for pessimism than optimism. But I do not rule out optimism.
My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.
Pessimism only describes an attitude, and not facts, and hence is entirely subjective.
I am not a pessimist; to perceive evil where it exists is, in my opinion, a form of optimism.
Pessimism of the spirit; optimism of the will.
Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.
If you think it's going to rain, it will.
There's nothing particularly wrong with being more pessimistic than optimistic. Optimism is broad-based, non-detail-oriented thinking; pessimism is detail-oriented thinking.
I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.
Pessimism, when you get used to it, is just as agreeable as optimism.
