What we usually believe
An optimist person
Lives a happy and healthy life...
A recent study suggests
Pessimists are likely to live
A longer and healthier life
For they are more down-to-earth
Compared to an optimist
In their real life.
So it seems to be a devil's alternative
To live a long and miserable life
For God is believed to favour
A rather short and happy life.
