LIFE EXPLAINED, PART 265

Contrary to what some people would have you believe, there are more than two types of people in this word. There are actually three: pessimists, optimists and drunks. Of the three, the least disappointed person is the pessimist, since he expects nothing, the most pleasant is the optimist, since he is always filled with hope, but happiest is the drunkard. A drunk doesn't care one way or the next if his glass is half empty or half full since he knows it's going to be empty in a flash, and then full again, then empty again, and then full again and so on and so on until he's feeling happy, confident, loving, powerful, wise and free.
