“Is the definition of a pessimist a person who only sees what he hasn't got but wants? Would an optimist never see the empty space? Or is there some other detail I'm leaving out? Is it more complicated? I don't know. It isn't always bad to see the empty space, is it? Isn't it all right to see both, the filled space and the empty space? You could be in either. I have to try and see everything.” — Patrick Downes

Is the definition of a pessimist a person who only sees what he hasn't got but wants? Would an optimist never see the empty space? Or is there some other detail I'm leaving out? Is it more complicated? I don't know. It isn't always bad to see the empty space, is it? Isn't it all right to see both, the filled space and the empty space? You could be in either. I have to try and see everything.
