Let's play this game:

If you assume that everything will turn out well, you're not going to be cautious

If you assume people around you are all good you're in for some surprise, not of the good kind , especially if you are a girl in a dark alley

Plus, I dislike optimism, I find it's childish, but I get a lot of rewards nonetheless from people around me for being honest.

The illusion of success is not success, believing in the illusion of something is called faith, and it's what killed the people who prayed together for the black plague to stop, spreading the diseases.
