Being a pessimist doesn't exactly help. I prefer "not giving a [redacted]" to pessimism. When you say everything is going to suck, your general outlook on like falters, as does those around you. Sure, you might be more surprised every now and again, but without hope, we may as well just be machines, doing what we're programmed. And machines can be broken.
