Everybody has an attitude…that is, everybody with a pulse.
Sometimes a pessimist is just an optimist with a bad attitude. Perhaps an optimist is just a pessimist that doesn’t know any better.
What is the condition of your glass? And if your eyes are not too good, what is the condition of your glasses?
Optimism likely stems from a couple of possible sources; it can flow from an inner hope that everything will work out all right; it can mirror deep conviction and a faith that life is part of a larger picture; or it can be contagious, like an airborne element caught when surrounded by positive people.
Optimism—Pessimism—or anywhere along the continuum may be factors chosen by free will or they may be environmental in nature.
Either way, an optimist is always more fun to be around…though pessimists may often have a better sense of humor.
