Mystic Yet Rationalistic

Are you an optimistic realist or a realistic optimist? Are you a fatalistic humanist or a humanistic fatalist? Staunchly capitalistic rules out socialistic but can't socialistic flirt a bit with capitalistic? Artistic may be wildly narcissistic yet is narcissistic necessarily artistic? If nihilism goes ballistic Are ballistics then nihilistic? Calvinistic is never hedonistic but might hedonistic become Calvinistic? The theistic frown on the atheistic yet the atheistic themselves were once theistic The egoistic are not likely to be altruistic but the altruistic may well be egoistic Linguistics is so much more than dry statistics yet statistics make or break theories of linguistics The opportunistics are not naturally idealistic but the idealistic must often be opportunistic Can something simplistic be pluralistic or something pluralistic be simplistic? To be perfectly objectivistic ~ I am frankly rather pessimistic

The human contradictions so creatively penned Gershon. Very interesting. I hope I fall somewhere in the middle, I usually do! Happy Tuesday !

Yeah, I probably fall somewhere in the middle too, Mike...We're just a 'pair of wild and boring guys!' (You want to be Dan Akroyd or Steve Martin?! LOL). Best wishes, Gershon

wonderful poem/ declare rationalistic in pragmatic worlds view, mystic for the accidental (spiritual) occurrence beyond the going on world and overall frankly optimistic but at dark heart pessimistic sign carries opposite part of coin....///

I will choose the option you forgot to give me, Gershon. I choose Wildly optimistic non-realistic dreamer, and word-player. Just kidding. Your last line is hilarious!
