Pessimism!
Posted by: u5227470736789439 on 16 May 2006
Dear Friends,
Some I know think I am a pessimist, but I prefer to think of myself as a realist.
In fact I have now shown, in spite of my apparent pessimism, that I was wildly unrealistic, and far too optimistic.
The only thing I never over-estimated was the humain qualities of good individual people. I have some lovely friends, and the mutual expression of affection would not be inaccurately be described as love, but everything else in the world is going downhill fast, and I wonder how much more pessimistic about it all I can be till the thought becomes impossible.
I always said a realist is less likely to be dissappointed. How wrong I have proved myself to be. Funnily some of my optimistic cohorts have caught life far worse.
The above is all true for me, so dear Friends, would anyone like to comment? [Just in case any of you are wondering if I am a tad depressed? No not in the least. I am begining to see a grim humour in it all]!
All the best from Fredrik

You truly are a miserable sod.
Well spotted!

Golly, I never had you down as a botherer! You definitely have that smug meanness about you that characterises English bourgeois Christians in general, however.

EW - Your pessimisam is becoming endearing and you are fast becoming the parody of what you represent. Be careful that we don't spot who you really are.
