[ He huffs, a self-deprecating laugh. ]

Oh, sure, of course. Not optimistic, but a future nonetheless.

[robopriest]

At least that's something. Me, I personally don't allow myself to think things will be bad. I wouldn't call myself an optimist, but...expecting the other shoe to drop is just miserable.

[frostythehitman]

It's better than getting your hopes up only to have them torn apart in front of you, as far as I'm concerned.

[robopriest]

But really, what's the point of that? Sure, the shoe will drop. But maybe it will be tomorrow, or in a week, or in a year. If you just keep yourself in perpetual misery, you're locking yourself away from any possible happiness you can find.

[frostythehitman]

I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than disappointed. With the luck I have, I'd spend all my time getting disappointed if I didn't expect it.

[robopriest]

I guess we agree to disagree, Mr. Pessimist.
