optimism - Devil's Dictionary definition
n. The doctrine, or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and
everything right that is wrong. It is held with greatest tenacity by
those most accustomed to the mischance of falling into adversity, and
is most acceptably expounded with the grin that apes a smile. Being a
blind faith, it is inaccessible to the light of disproof -- an
intellectual disorder, yielding to no treatment but death. It is
hereditary, but fortunately not contagious.
optimism - Foolish Dictionary definition
A cheerful frame of mind that enables a tea-kettle to sing though in hot water up to its nose.
