What is real?

@Winterwanderer: Reality is what is, and how it is in the present moment. Optimism is putting a positive spin on reality, whether it's accurate or not. Pessimism is either putting a negative spin on reality whether accurate or not, or actually just being realistic.

Reality is usually not pleasant at best, and quite ugly and terrifying at worst. No wonder we like optimistic people.

I'm a realist with a hint of optimism.

So optimists & pessimists aren't realistic?
SW-User
@Winterwanderer: They are on extreme ends, with realist being in the center or close to.

I like that, I'm not one for extremes either, I think reality is both really great & terrible, in many different ways.

I'm laughing. Nobody has said pessimist so far, yet this site is full of crybabies. Maybe they haven't logged on yet.

It's also a really general question.

What is reality?

I'm an optimistic pessimist because I stoically face reality, so I join with the realists.
