The optimist bias




On average they expect things to turn better.
We are more accurate predicting reality.

They live longer, make diets, take vitamin pills,
and have children.
We drink bitter coffee and have chocolate cake 
for breakfast while predicting bad weather

Sure of finding better fields
their ancestors ventured to the unknown.
We are an evolution error,
deep in our brains the amigdala is the one to be blame.

If they lose their flight
it is because the love of their lives is somewhere
in the waiting room...
waiting.
For us the glass of wine is always empty,
reality is always broken.
