an introduction of sorts

Where is the line in the sand drawn between pessimism and optimism? Is it irrational to assume the best, that the universe is a sea of dark matter and silver linings? Or is it a life entrenched in meloncholy to expect the worst and be surprised by those sprinkled moments of unexpected ecstasy?
"Trust in Allah, but tie your camel."--Arabian proverb

Rather, the truth most likely lies somewhere in between. That's where you'll find me: standing on that line cursing the sand in my shoes and basking in the open air.
