Busy busy busy...

I keep missing these.

The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.

...and the cynic realizes that no matter how hard you try it's not going to make it any better, or that someone will ruin it somehow.

I prefer the view of Gary Larson in the Farside:

Optimist: The glass is half-full.
Pessimist: The glass is half-empty.
Indecisive: The glass is half-full, no wait, half-empty, no, err....
The Realist: Hey, I ordered a cheeseburger.

At least those are the what I named the characters in that one, I don't think they actually had names, just viewpoints, I associate most with the realist.
