The Optimist, the Pessimist, and the Realist
Thursday, March 30, 2006 4:48 AM
So there are these three guys who (through one way or another) came across a glass of water one day when walking through a desert of no name and no real location.The first one, who was an optimist, looked at the glass and said, "Look! A glass of water! And what luck, it is half full. Enough for all three of us!"
The second, who was a pessimist, looked at the same glass, and remarked, "Are you crazy? There's no way that glass can sustain us all! For, you see, it is clearly half empty!"
The third, who was a realist, replied, "You fools. Can't you see that there is no glass; it is merely a mirage."
(I don't know what this means or how it came to my mind, but it did and now we all shall suffer for it. Thank you.)
