I'm a pragmatic optimist
If you don't shoot, you can't hit the target
I try to explain that life is no game
Regardless of being lethargic.

Life is not a game, games are products of surrealism and fantasy. Life is reality in It's truest form. Says so much in so few words. Great Pierre.

I'm optimistic that we will survive our foibles once they are pointed out.

Lol, Shot from the hip Susan, I'm an optimist in a pessamistic kind of way, so try to be pragmatic about it. I can relate to the lethargy, that's why I use a machine gun lol. Excellent analogy.

I can understand your comment on my poem far better now. Thank you, Susan. I agree, walking around with a raincloud over your shoulder cannot be fun.

An optimist invented the aeroplane, the pessimist invented the seat belts.
Yes, only a realist can be an optimist. Never heard of an academic or theoretical optimist.
