Optimistic

I admit it, there is an absurd mix of a realist and an optimist fighting for ground in this body of mine.

Realist: Politicians are most often sell outs
Optimist: The "most often" part

Realist: My family is falling apart
Optimist: Perhaps we can all still make it through as a family

Realist: People are stupid
Optimist: Well, not all people

Let the battle continue, but for today the optimist portion is winning out, however, there is still a few more days until Tuesday...
