Are you an optimist, pessimist or realist? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 83944383 United States 09/27/2022 10:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | There is no way on God's green earth that 3/4s of people are "realists". 3/4s might be liars, but certainly not realists. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76873815 I'm 67 years old and have had several different careers (retired) in distant areas. I think a more truthful assessment of the percentage of realists would be 20%--at best. No doubt some confuse being a sniveling anus caresser with being a realist--it is not the same. Such people seem to be the majority now. Perhaps 40-50 years ago most were realists than not, but it is a far different world today. Crybabies, suck asses and fake optimists on Prozac are the norm. Maybe “realists” are more likely to respond to such a poll. Pessimists will be worried about data mining and optimists have no reason to be on this site to begin with and are outside chasing butterflies. Either way - it’s a small sample. And “realist” is an ambiguous term. I think not my friend, a real Realist at his/her core is very simply defined, we see the big picture for what it is, cannot stand the annoying and frivolous details, and don't ever put sugar or lemon in our iced tea. I think they call it Au Naturale... THERE WILL BE NO MIXING IN THE TRUTH. |

Quoting: eyeDR3 Is the glass half full, half empty, not exactly full or empty or does it just have water in it? When I look at the current state of affairs and at my own life, I'd like to believe I've become more of a realist. I'm not unrealistically positive in moments where everything is falling apart. I recognize sometimes very bad things happen and must be addressed. I'll still try to laugh and smile through it all, but there is certainly stress and holes that have to be crawled out of. I won't simply wear a smile when things have to change. I'm not Eeyore. I'm no longer looking at the world as if everything is wrong because there is still so much that is right or has potential to be corrected and even improved. While I do think we are pretty fucked IN THE MOMENT "This too shall pass!" I believe being a pessimist makes one a less desirable guest and makes it difficult for people to absorb provided knowledge. There are still good things happening and great people. I'm certainly not apathetic! This mentality to me has to be the absolute worst. Apathy destroys people and nations. This is the ostrich. Go and party away reality just to avoid it. Wide eyed and not absorbing or retaining. Generally not very empathetic toward others or aware of history. The absolute worst. So which are you? I think we've got war coming. I think our country is in it's absolute most tumultuous time since it's creation and the world has never seen a time this interconnected and dependent on cohesiveness. I don't believe the evil, hysteria, blasphemy and apathy or selfishness have ever been at this point in history. Not even the times of Sodom, Gamorrah, Babylon or the days of Noah. Just being realistic. At this point in time, you cannot be a realist without being a pessimist. The survival of our species depends on pessimism and chokes on hope. Adrenaline is our d(h)opamine. I'm all out of bubblegum... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 83944383 United States 09/27/2022 10:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is it even possible to be a realist and not be a pessimist? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 33227982 I declare that one cannot be a real realist without also being a pessimist at the present time. Other than divine intervention there is no way anything good will come to anyone who is good in the next 20 years minimum. Your declaration is utterly false and horseshiite, they are two completely different adjectives. Those of us that are true Realists are incapable of being pessimistic, but can very well be Optimists in any given situation. We see things for what they are without the frivolity of details that tend to muddy the waters. There is no possible way to be pessimistic when you see things for what they truly are at their core, just the opposite with optimism, we see things clearly therefore can be optimistic no matter the outcome. |

Star fleet is taking enrollments User ID: 13053716 Australia 09/28/2022 03:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Optimist/Realist. Quoting: ScrumpTheTexan My lifelong faith has given me an inherent optimism that, no matter how hard things get, I know my ultimate end. And I'm good with that, and it results in a really good life and an attitude of unrelenting perseverance & buoyancy regardless of circumstance. Realist because I know that the pathway there will be, and already has been many times, filled with sometimes very intense pain, as the world's a painful place sometimes, and it's a place that's likely going to get exponentially worse, soon. https://imgur.com/MvNKWAx Today was just a day, tomorrow is gonna be better. |

They get triggered by particular words, symbols etc. They can't really bother about the meaning. They just look for the trigger words. Their language & comprehension skills are 0.

User ID: 84171095 United States 10/02/2022 08:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'd have to say i'm an optimist/ realist. I know that I have salvation through Jesus Christ, and that i cannot lose my salvation. Whatever happens from this point on is peanuts. Life is short, but i don't need much to be happy. Pain is rarely ever as bad as you think it'll be. Besides, I'm happier when I'm being worked to the point of exhaustion. In all of that, i'm mostly fine with whatever happens around me. I do realize that whatever can go wrong will probably go wrong but i've been preparing for that. May your curses become your blessings, Rutherford T. Birges |
