Numb. 1119 Andrea Doria Rhymes With Euphoria

OPTIMISTS SEEM to enjoy disappointment.

Which, to me, is perverse.

A pessimist realizes everything's bad

and tries to avoid making it worse.

Optimists wallow in magical thinking,

in wishing, in hoping, in prayer.

Rather than swallow “It'll get better”,

pessimists plead Candide by Voltaire.
