What is an experienced Pessimist? Most people would answer, an optimist. You're wrong, his answer to that was suicidal.

I believe that an experienced pessimist is an optimist because he has seen through his experience of expecting the worst that nothing is ever as bad as it seems. As a result he finds that the pessimism was a waste of time resulting in his becoming an optimist. Through being an optimist we all get what we want from life and are able to progress more easily.
