As I see it: Optimism is highly overrated, AND pessimism is highly overused. Or as Albert Schweitzer put it: “An optimist is a person who sees a green light everywhere, while the pessimist sees only the red stoplight. The truly wise person is color-blind.”
To put it another way; this so-called color-blind person chooses to instead be ever-CAUTIOUS and pay close attention to reality and reason in everything as he moves forward... So he/she rarely gets broadsided running a red light as an Optimist, NOR stays stuck in the mud with the engine off like a Pessimist, cursing the red light he’s always seeing...
That's my take on it...
