Wow. They really are.

You just have pink-eye

I just got new glasses—that I waited eight months for!

Next, he’ll go to the optifog!

Pessimists are happier than optimists. Optimists hope for the best, and are usually disappointed. Pessimists fear the worst – and are happy if it doesn’t happen, and get to say, “I told you so!” if it does.

Rose are nice, but yellow really brightens up the world in a comfortable non-glaring manner

Do they show only the beauty cause they hide all the truth?

Gotta give props to the colorist for giving the lenses just enough rose tint to be noticeable on close inspection after reading the punch line.

Thank you, Winky, for exspleening that.

Dr. Mel with a rosy outlook? I don’t see it.

Keep wearing them, Dr. Mel…your life changes when you are seeing the good side of things!

“It says Optimist? Guess I need new glasses.”

An optimist prescribing glasses — that’s a new one.

I saw that one coming…

Very clever!

In general, I retain an optimistic attitude. However, I am also pragmatic enough to know that things can and do go wrong. Sometimes controllable, sometimes “black swan” events.

To me the issue is retaining that optimism or pessimism and extrapolating to all that follows. It’s never all one or the other. Yet, as the study I cited above says, optimists live longer. So, if I err, it will be toward looking to the bright side of life (Monty Python wouldn’t steer me wrong, would they?).

Ah, nuts. Now he can only watch rom-coms. :)

So the glasses help you better, but not clearer.

The color of the world. Many just don’t see it that way.

I remember this from Herman.

The colorist could have made them pink…

Pessimist: glass is half emptyOptimist: glass is half fullMe: gulps it all down
