Das's Law of Optimism/Pessimism is derived from something said by George Carlin. It explains that sometimes you expect too much of yourself and it gets you down in life.

Get the Das's Law of Optimism/Pessimismmug. People being optimistic when there's really nothing to be optimistic about. A sense that someone's positivity has no merit and is practically wasted because almost if not everything is purely negative at the time. This kind of thinking can be toxic because being happy all the time, even and especially during hardship, doesn't necessarily solve anything.
I'm getting tired of the amount of Empty Optimism that everyone around me is exerting. There's really nothing to be happy about right now.

Get the Empty Optimismmug. My co-worker is a “self optimizer” purposefully promoting prowess over others to the detriment of those he/she views a a threat in their immediate environment.

Get the optimismmug. Iam "The optimal Spellbook/Dogmatika deck turn 1 board consists of the cards: Secret Village of Spellcasters, Jowgan the Spiritualist, and Dogmatika Punishment. As long as Secret Village of Spellcasters is on the field, only the owner of the card is allowed to use spell cards (so long as they possess a Spellcaster monster on the field). Jowgan the Spiritualist prevents special summoning. And Dogmatika punishment will destroy a face up monster. It creates a situation where your opponent has no choice but to use their 1 normal summon on a monster that will inevitably be destroyed by Dogmatika Punishment and/or set a monster. This board almost always guarantees a turn 3 and shuts down spell heavy decks or decks that rely heavily on link/synchro climbing or special summoning. Ideally you will Spellbook climb into Jowgan so summon it in defense position. It's a fun deck that results in only 1 player being able to play Yugioh."

Get the The optimal Spellbook/Dogmatika deck turn 1 boardmug. Another way of saying bliss, or blind optimism that sounds even more positive, even though it all means the same thing.
Boundless optimism sounds good, but really it's no different than a state of bliss where everything is okay, and everything will be okay.
