Keeps me out of depression.

Sad times pass. That's the goodness of life. Give it time. And life becomes happy again. Far happier than sad. Maybe in 76 years I've had a cumulative year or two of sad times. All the rest were happy times. Therefore, not much to complain about. Even in the midst of sad times, I keep reminding myself, it ain't gonna last. Things will get better. And they always do. Never fails. Maybe that makes me the optimist. Keeps me out of depression. --Jim Broede
