Why are you such a pessimist?

Isn't it common sense? You have nothing to lose.

When you spend all your life your head in the clouds, living in a fantasy that whispers comforting words in your ear, you have so much more to lose.

Next you know it, you will be kneeling on the ground, fat tears racing down your flushed cheeks, and wondering – why didn't it work out?

And when you look at my face, me, the pessimist, you will wonder what it is that keeps me strong – what keeps me from crumbling like you.

The lack of hope.
