Pessimists are good lenders - because they know I’ll never return what I borrow and it’s not worth trying to get me to return anything
Pessimists are honest because they tell me I’m horrid and worthless and have no talent – whereas my wife tells me lies about how unique and fantastic I am and how I’m destined for greatness and fame the same lies my parents and teachers and all the sugary people in my life told me to believe in and so brought me to grief and megalomania– better a pessimist than incorrigible liars
Pessimists let me do what I want: jump the queue, rob them in daylight steal their cars and take what I like - because they say, with a helpless shrug: “That’s human nature – especially people of his kind!”
Pessimists tell me the world will end tomorrow that I’m destined for hell and I’ll never come to good – hey, that allows me reason never to try enjoy life for the moment and just cruise along and let everybody else die of stress and work-addiction
*Pessimists I love for they validate everything I do ; truly, they were made for me, for they make my every wrong right…bless ‘em pessimists
