sorry, but this whole pessimism deal just doesnt do it for me. pessimism focuses on the bad points, and pours all of its effort into complaining and bitching about it (see your comment). naturally, that makes it so it cant help you better the world so that you can stop complaining.
whereas i believe that optimism in overdose is unhealthy and disgustingly blinding, it does have its fine points. at least it gives you a reason to smile while the things that you'd normally complain about are going on, plus, it sets you on the road towards making them better, or at least dealing with them with a brighter mind.
so, not to offend you or anything, im just wondering why you choose pessimism... can you at least answer that question?
ps its spelled "marshmallow"
pps. you should all learn how to play Go
