The idea that everything is best, and all things happen for a greater purpose. In other words, a waste of time.
Oh, look, there's an optimist on the street thinking he will one day be able to walk and live like a normal person when he's a paraplegic with no arms, legs, and the speech ability of Helen Keller.

People who see the world through rose-colored glasses, people who are unrealistic, people who have no actual lives if they think the world is good. Ignorance is Bliss, after all
Optimist: Yay! We're being tortured!
Normal Person: That's not a good thing. I'm in pain, and you probably are, too.
Optimist: Oh my god you bitch/bastard you're such a pessimist this is why nobody likes you and you have no friends
