Congratulations, although technically it is believed you will live longer if your optimistic (but then it can sometimes seem that there is little to be optimistic about)It reminds me though of the awards we got at our High school graduation. I got "Most Likely to be a politician" and "Most Cynical". So , it could be worse.
Uncanny how KMC user's names/titles match up with what they were voted in high school 😛

Actually, 'pessimism' is the tendency to stress the negative or unfavorable and always take the gloomiest possible view. The word holds no motif for improvement.
Looking for flaws in systems is not 'pessimism', it is 'evalutation' and there's nothing wrong with that.
