And the answer is: "It's half full liquid that tastes horrible and I've to drink it. After I've drunk it I wish I were dying but I won't die, because world hates me. And hey, it isn't medicine.."
Needless to say that I'm just an apprentice in the art of pessimism. Sad isn't it?

I didn't even use the word pessimism, man. My argument is still valid for the moment.
Get your own soap box! >:(
EDIT: Like, say I'm going to eat a burger. I'll think, "The bread might be soggy, the meat will be old, and the vegetables will be soggy. Let's just get through it then."
And then you eat it and it's not that bad. Then, you are thankful, and feel better about eating the burger, whereas normally you'd only have the satisfaction of having something occupying your stomach. Oh, but here's another piece of advice, backed by science too.
Pessimism doesn't get you much.
