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 optimizermug. When someone tells you “things get better” but that isn’t really true. They say this because they have a hypothetical belief that you can have someone to help you get better.
1:Hey man, you have someone to talk to, trust me.
2:That’s hypothetical optimism because I have no one to talk to. I’m also lonely as fuck.

Person 1: Shit, have you got a condom?
Person 2: We’re going to our Aunt’s funeral?!
Person 1: Yeah, but you know, what if?
Person 2: Fair enough bra. That’s optimism

Get the Optimizemug. Theres no such thing as cautious optimism. Cautious optimism is cynicism. Thinking the sky is going to fall and trying to look forward to the little bit of good left in things before it does is cynicism. Really, having a bucket list is cynicism, since even though it becomes more likely that you'll die soon when you get older, once the mystery isnt there you're not really living anyway, you're just trying to live the rest of your days as an adrenaline junkie before the crash at the end, to go out with a bang, that's cynicism. Most thoughts disguised as positive are really cynical by nature.
Fuck positive thoughts and people, they think the end is a crash and it becomes one for everybody else too. There is no cautious optimism.
