Pessimism triumphs

Pessimism. It is a wonderful creation. With it by your side, you are bound to have nothing but pleasant surprises!! Nothing will upset you, because its either what you were expecting, or it is good news! For those of us who easily get emotional, Pessimism can be the perfect security blanket! However, sometimes, the Optimistic ways creep in on even the most solid supporters of Pessimism. When this happens, the results are bound to be catastrophic. One who is used to the bottom of the pit, suddenly soars to the top, believing that something too good to be true might happen. And then, just as suddenly, if not even more sudden then the initial soar, the Optimistic Pessimist will find that his hopes were silly dreams of a reality that is not his. For what could a pit dweller possibly know of the clouds? Pit dwellers belong in pits, and birds belong in the sky. That is how it is and always will be. And now, the Pit dweller is back in the pit, only now he has tasted the sky, and fallen oh so far back down.
