Pessimism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Pessimist)
Pessimism is a philosophy and a way to see things in life. Pessimists believe that generally things are bad, and the world people live in is the worst possible world. In philosophy, pessimism often describes the ideas of Arthur Schopenhauer.
Someone who uses the philosophy is called a pessimist, they are the opposite of an optimist.
An example of pessimism is seeing that a glass of water is "half empty", not "half full".
