Are you an optimist or a pessimist? I was brought up to expect that in any given situation the worst outcome was likely to occur, and I have never been able to escape from this mindset. I wish that I could, but on the other hand I would not want to be in the happy-go-lucky camp, thinking everything will always turn out for the best. Where do you stand?
Both actually, I'm acutely aware of the unfairness and futile suffering that goes on in life and that everyone's ultimate destination is death whilst at the same time being able to marvel at the wings on a butterfly and take great joy in simple things. Just realised I'm a proper feck up ;-)
Nox, you would be crap at a party :( I am a glass half full person (even though we have had a lot of glass completely empty times). Sugar happens, you can deal with way more than you think can (really, you can).
