What’s the use of hoping? When it isn’t meant for you. What’s the use of dreaming? When you know it won’t come true . What’s the use of struggling? When it won’t get you anywhere. What’s the use of trying? When you know it ends right here. What’s the use of searching? For things that don’t exist. What’s the point of being, A silly optimist?

i try to look at the positive side of things, even when things aren't going well. the reason is because i have a strong faith in god, and he's let me live this long; at birth 43 years ago, i was expected to die. i was born 3 months premature, and i weighed 1 1/2 pounds. i am a living miracle of god, and i thank him each and every day! love, your friend, karen lynn.

An optimist - "The glass is half full"
A pessimist - "The glass is half empty"
