The Way I See It #258

[cordelia989]

 "Because true conservatives are pessimists, they are happier than liberals, for three reasons.  First, pessimists are rarely surprised.  Second, when they are wrong they are delighted to be so.  Third, pessimists do not put their faith in princes - in government.  They understand that happiness is a function of fending for oneself.  Happiness is an activity; it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness."
