Pessimism and negativity are a shitty way to go through life. Pessimists will try to justify it by saying they are realists, when in fact past history does not predict future results. If it did, nothing would ever change. And things do change, so why choose negativity?
It may not predict them but it sure leaves a lot of suggestive bread crumbs.
But none of this disputes my assertion that I understand the perspective of the perpetual optimist. You have no basis nor right to infer that I choose to be miserable. In fact, I'm anything but miserable. I do tend to take the more negative outlook when it comes to the Bengals and the Reds because it's the pragmatic way to approach them. Doesn't mean I don't hope to someday be shocked and thrilled. I do think those days CAN come, and when it becomes evident we are trending in the right direction, my expectations and hope will be adjusted accordingly.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.
