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.

Cynically Optimistic

Somebody who acknowledges the fact that humanity is crap but also believes in its capacity to do good.

--Man I know the world has a lot of shitty people but I still think we can do some good here. I think I'm cynically optimistic.

--If you're that person who wants to cut the next jerk who cuts you in line, but also has genuine faith in humanity, you're cynically optimistic.

optomist

Someone who thinks that everything will be all-right, even though they cannot spell.

Clueless: "I know I will do great on today's spelling test."
Realist: "How can you be so sure?"
Clueless: "I am an optomist"
Realist: "You mean optimist, right?"

Optimistic Pessimism

Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.

Optimistic pessimism is a great way to live your life, because you can't lose.

People who argue that optimistic pessimism - or any kind of pessimism for that matter - is a self fulfilling argument are just naive irrational pseudo-philosophical hippies.

optimistic

Being positive all the time. Recovers from anger or sadness very quickly or doesn't feel bad emotions at all. Usually very high spirited or loves to smile, you'll know 'em when you see them.

Jaime is so optimistic, nothing brings her down!
