Now, what do you call a pessimist who repeatingly tells an optimist not to be pessimistic because the pessimist is in complete denial that he is not an optimist and in critical delusion that the entire world is submerged in some blue funk except himself?
Answer: A moron.
I know, because the pessimist is talking to me right now.
or, he could be a closet optimist trying to appear pessimistic because it's safer to be a pessimist than an optimist on this little mass of dirt submerged in some blue funk we call Earth?
then again, that's moron for short too. well put.
