    We’ll go to hell, all of us.

    … It’s Superman! No, a horse! No, an airplane!

  3. EdwardBe says:

    Yep. Life sucks and then you die.

  4. Henry Ford says:

    I can see handcarts for miles……

  5. Matthew St Clair-Stannard says:

    Life’s a beach, and then you dive!

  6. Rrr says:

    Matthew, that sounds like a somewhat shallow philosophy. 🙂
    Not for a deep dive, let’s hope!
    (Might end up like @ModdedQuad — awesome story, but do not repeat!)
    Sorry, all … I’ll see myself out.

    i think it’s funny. I agree that no one gets out of here alive. Knowing and understanding these and other problems, gives a chance to work on them. There’s always hope. I may be an optimistic pessimist? A pessimistic optimist? A realist.

  8. tfkreference says:

    An optimist thinks we live in the best of all possible worlds.
    A pessimist agrees.

  9. E.A. Blair says:

    The advantage of pessimism is fewer disappointments.

  10. paradoctor says:

    The solution is pessimism of the intellect, but optimism of the will. Sure, life sucks, and your plans will probably fail badly, but what the heck, let’s go ahead with them anyhow!

  11. paradoctor says:

    … because what’s the worst that could happen? You destroy the world? So what, the world already sucks! No loss there. And maybe you’ll succeed.

    So if you lose then you lose nothing, but if you win then you win something. This is a version of Pascal’s Wager.
