Optimism is just an other word for pretense. Only, this time around, you pretend to be a fool ; but that doesn't mean you come out feeling any more wiser than you would be if you were dr.skeptismo in the first place.You then realize you are a lot more foolish than when you allowed yourself to be optimistic and got lost in the myriad possibilities it offers.Optimism works on the central premise that reality is negotiable when instant gratification is far more appealing than accepting the reality. When you stop pretending, you can't accept yourself anymore.

You write beautifully...
especially the last post...our world is so screwed now, more than before because of the rise of the mass pursuit for instant gratification...
positivity is fake, negativity is intrinsic.
"reality is negotiable when instant gratification is far more appealing than accepting the reality". Can't help but agree. As it says in our holy scriptures: "Then God said, "Let there be weed," and there was weed." Reality is what we assume it to be. The steak is a lie. Optimism makes life a lot easier.
PS: Commenting seemed polite but that was not my objective. Yeah I had vested interests. Vile ones too. Going through my blog after months, I saw your comment. That made me feel that the improbability drive is in action again. Hence a question begs to be answered: *Who are you?* To add some orkut magic: "me likes ur blog. plzzz reply."
