Optimist:
The doctrine, or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong. It is held with greatest tenacity by those most accustomed to the mischance of falling into adversity, and is most acceptably expounded with the grin that apes a smile. Being a blind faith, it is inaccessible to the light of disproof -- an intellectual disorder, yielding to no treatment but death. It is hereditary, but fortunately not contagious.
I suppose, as the ranking RAF representative in the POW camp of downed CPQ flyers, you must occasionally cuff us about the head and shoulders... but in an "optimistic" way.
