Optimistic Nihilism

You know what's great about life? It doesn't matter. I don't mean that it doesn't matter what's great about life, I mean that what's great about life is that it doesn't matter. Politics doesn't matter, aliens don't matter, black holes don't matter, we don't matter.. nothing matters. We have nothing to prove, nothing to strive for. Life is nothing, it's probably an illusion anyway. We might as well all be dead. Why care about anything? See that painting - who cares? It probably doesn't exist.. but it sure is beautiful.. See that roller coaster? Oh, who cares, there's no point anyway.. but it sure is fun.. See that human you're in love with? Who cares, they're not even real and love is an illusion! Well yeah.. but it still feels really nice and it's a lot of fun.. so why not just kick back, relax and enjoy yourself on the pointless and non-existent but undeniably awesome ride of life!

Optimistic Realist

Someone who is able to look at the positive side of life while maintaining a realistic viewpoint. Although seemingly contradictory (or even possibly as an oxymoron), it clearly is not due to the fact that realism has no positive or negative association, only a focus on the realistic elements of a situation.
Craig is an optimistic realist because while he understands that in reality, negative things can happen, that there is an equal chance that positive things will happen.

Optimistic Nihilism

The knowledge that there is nothing. Everything life appears to be is but a perception. 'morals' and 'facts' are all subjective.
Despite this, the only escape provides little alternative, as that leads to the cessation of all thought. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts :)
I believe in Optimistic Nihilism. If there's nothing else out there, I still enjoy what I've got.

Optimism

Optimism is the hope for a better tomorrow. It is to believe that one day the bad will go and there will be lots of room for the good. With optimism, you can learn to smile and be happy because your inner soul keeps reminding you that tomorrow will be better.
Optimism is essential to achievement and it is also the foundation of courage. ~ Nicholas Butler

Optimus Prime

1. (n) Leader of the Autobots, the protagonist of the Transformers universe. Originally transformed into a red cab-over semi-truck, his form has evolved through the various iterations of the Transformers universe (see Optimus Primal).

He is known for his strong leadership and courage and would easily sacrifice himself for the safety of others. His selfless personality is one of many traits that made him a great leader. Optimus Prime could be easily described as a "reluctant warrior", in that he only engages in war when absolutely necessary. It is possible this attitude prolonged the Autobot/Decepticon war.

He and Megatron (or his numerous iterations) have always shared a mutual respect for each other, and have opposed each other in nearly every depiction of the Transformers universe.

In the 1986 Transformers animated film, Optimus Prime was killed after a fierce battle with Megatron, but his character returned several times during the series.

Optimus Prime was the most liked character among young viewers of the original series, although his toy was not the highest selling (original release, excludes all others).
Optimus: "One shall stand.., One shall fall."

Megatron: "Why throw away your life so recklessly?"

Optimus Prime: That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron.."
