Pessimism is not more "realistic" than optimism. Faith and worry are basically the same thing. Both require believing in things you can't see. Both invite you to predict the future. The difference is what you believe in, and what you choose to do about it. Optimists believe that things will certainly get better if you don't give up. Pessimists lean into the idea that it isn't worth it to try too much because you'll only be disappointed. Both optimists and pessimists predict their own future. I've tried them both, and I don't really recommend either. On my best days, I'm not an optimist or a pessimist. I'm a scientist. I come up with ideas. I test them. I measure the results, learn from the data, and make adjustments.

Life sucks, then you die. If you are a pessimist and into philosophy, you will get a laugh from this tee. The happy rainbows, sun and clouds make it a perfect ironic gift for that friend who is always down in the dumps and nihilistic. Makes a great birthday, Christmas, or holiday gift idea for anyone who always sees the glass half empty. The pessimism and nihilism is strong with anyone wearing this happy tee. Life sucks then you die is a funny joke tee good for anyone that is not happy

Half full half empty surreal illustration, sunset in a glass, positive quote, optimist vs pessimist.
