If you always prepare for the worst, you’ll never be disappointed, right? You’ll never feel discouraged by a layoff, betrayed by a friend, or set back by an illness because you saw it coming. After all — pessimism is just another name for realism.
Ah, such a crusty, unnattractive outlook! And it can be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Yeah, right. Whatever.
eff off.
Progressiveness is a culture of pessimism. It is a culture of trying to correct problems that don’t exist. trying to correct grievances that don’t actually exist, and trying to correct history that doesn’t exist.
So this is just another example to the progressive left.
@Meerkat Brzezinski – No, no, no, my friend! They are optimists! They believe that even though they live in a terrible world, beset terrible problems, and full of terrible people that they have the answers to make everything and everybody beautiful and peaceful and all Kumbaya-sing-y. You can’t get more optimistic than that!

This article just pisses me off. 👿
My mother sees those cartoon cups as three more goddamn glasses she has to clean.
She is…Negative Nana!
I just knew this article was gonna blame me for everything that wrong with me!
That professor is an idiot!
I’m 67 and I’ve been a negative SOB my entire life. Look at this face. I look 60 years younger than I am.
I’ve never been happier or healthier.
Well, with a name like that…

Pessimist suffer twice; once in imagination and once in reality.
Optimists suffer just once. The rest of the time they enjoy whatever they can, while they can.
Grumpy is the coolest dwarf by far.
If you expect the worst, and something happens, then you’re prepared. If nothing happens, you still have a nice gun collection.
Bollocks.
Lazlo is fiddy-ate and my curmudgeon nature has saved my dignity several times
Like when my friends said: “C’mon Laz old shoe, lets go see the lions at the Zoo” I deferred due to lack of interest in animals that can eat you, to ridicule and derision.
This ‘Zoo’ they attended was a wild animal park with chain link enclosures.
My friends came home smelling of Lion Pee.
I secretly exalted in my ‘not smelling like Lion Pee’ state while appearing to be sympathetic to theirs.
Hmm now I know why I get a headache and my balls hurt every time I watch CNN
When the old arthritis really kicks in, the pain lessens if I can put some good dancing music in the air. Can no longer dance the cha cha nor the watusi, but dance as much as possible and my mood improves.
Anticipating and being stressed about something kicks in the pain. I try to impose stress on others 🙂 rather than absorb it.

So, your Friday eve with the snowflakes was fun? Did you wow them into submission?
Law of Attraction New Age BS.
I hate this kind of progressive voodoo. It’s killing me!
