When you lean to one side too often such as when you always assume the worst you will cause unnecessary mental filters to blur up what is really there. You may not be quick to see the wonderful opportunities life has to offer when you are always pessimistic.

The same goes for always assuming the best. By being too optimistic you may not spot the dangers that are awaiting you, if any.
Yes but I believe that by being pessimisstic I will always be ready for what life throws at me, I will never be caught off guard by a robber, a wild animal, or a speeding car driven by a careless idiot. Maybe mental filters will blur up what is really there in my life but that doesn't bother me because I know without my pessimism I will never truly be as safe as I would like to be, and I won't be ready for the situation when ninjas fly out from atop and behind buildings because I didn't stop to smell the nuclear ninja gas in the air, do you see what I'm saying? What are wonderful opportunities anyways? Nothing in life really appeals to me except winning fights, being the hero, and being in control of my life at all times. You could name off a hundred things that most people think are wonderful opportunities, marraige, sex, photo opportunities, whatever, none of these things appeal to me at all. What appeals to me are having keen senses that allow me to survey my environment so I can 1. be ready for anything including ninjas, and 2. Have every bit of information I need stored away in my brain for further reference and artistic inspiration. Do you see where I'm going with this? Nothing matters to me except heroism.

Entertainment for your face.
