We Freepers are an optimistic happy bunch (other than a few of you who don't like Ann Coulter). ( ;-D

To long life!

On the other hand, the most extreme negative thinking is fatal.

I think positive all the time. I'm positive Hillary will be our next prez, positive that the NRA will be declared a terrorist organization and its members sent off to the kind of camps where they don't have campfire singalongs, positive that the world will be wearing turbans and burqas in 20 years, positive that the Yankees will win another World Series, positive that an asteroid is going to impact North America, setting off the Yellowstone caldera and incinerating or smothering every man, woman, child, mammal, marsupial, invertebrate and Al Franken in a hideous 20-year holocaust.

But hey, I did save some money on my car insurance.

Pathologically optimistic types come with their own set of problems. Thus, everything in moderation, optimism included.

How did they go about adjusting for the pessimism that comes with ill health and pain?

I am positive we're all going to die someday.

I wonder how many years that'll buy me?

"Optimism can be estimated easily and is stable over long periods," though it does tend to decrease with age

OK, that does it. I'm going to be a researcher from now on. Who knew it was this easy?

Optimism is the fulfillment of life itself. Why do we need to justify it by proving it increases cardiovascular health? Surely, pessimism is not going to make you want to live longer, healthier lives, happier lives.

Studies and observations like these just goes to show how disconnected these academics and reporters are from a total comprehension and integration of life.

They think nothing is related to anything else -- except for some study showing a correlation, and only then, could it possibly be true. Do these reporters think that one has to have a Ph.D. and be funded by a grant from the National Institute of Health to arrive at these conclusions?

Where are they passing out the Nobel Prizes?

"Oddball" was thinking good thoughts in the movie "Kelley's Heroes". He was drinking wine and eating cheese.
