Realists Unite

[grampahol]

This is one of the only places where the term pessimist has been completely replaced with the term realist to make it feel like the person doing the replacing has some special insight nobody else could possibly have.. Everyone else just walks around in fantasyland wildly dreaming of the impossible while I, the only realist among you can see the only one truth!  I have some bad news for you realists out there in realism world.. You don't have any special anything other than an inflated ego which is OK I suppose, but all the "homers" out here? We just want a little slice of happiness once in awhile in an otherwise pretty dismal world.. So face it, by believing always that you'll never find even the slightest happiness you in fact become a bit fatalistic afraid to believe that maybe, just maybe someone else might actually know something you don't and that it's OK to dream.. Realist indeed.. 
Hey, I get about as pessimistic as the next guy, but I don't try to pass it off as some sign of super intelligence..We're all stuck in the same schmuckiness..
