Stroke Of Brilliance

I just realized that people who call themselves realists are simply pessimists that think they are optimists. It blew my mind.

On a side note, I would like to remind you that it is the non-conformist that conforms most rigorously to the rules of non-conformity.

I agree on both points. And fall into the trap of your first stroke of brilliance often.

1. optimists
2. pragmatists
3. pessimists

Not a whole lot of difference 1-2 and 2-3.
