an optimist knows

that beyond appearance there

is often always another reality

and that speaking one’s word

is power

and powerful enough to change

the present circumstance

which is different from an

idealist who dreams and hope

while sitting still

or a so called realist

who believes everything

he sees is the only perspective

you can sit on the road

hoping to get a ride

you can stand and look either way

and say no one is coming

or you can begin to walk

thinking if someone comes by

you will get a ride

otherwise you feet are very

capable
