You know when optimists become pessimists?
The moment they are scared.
They don't show negativity to the outside world, however.
They don't realise it when negative thoughts poison their -otherwise- smiling mind. Unconsciously, optimists can sometimes avoid situations they fear, rather than face them. At least, when it's -even for them- difficult to see the bright side.
'Bliss of ignorance' is a blessing to those...to me. So I guess, I'm an optimist because I'm a coward?

How do you do stay cheerful when all is unavoidable? Or how would you define being optimistic?
