4629. A pessimistic mind does not know

```

A pessimistic mind does not know

Why it suffers so much.

An optimistic heart does not know

Why and how it enjoys so much.

A realistic life does not know

Why a pessimistic mind and an optimistic heart

Do not offer their sorrows and joys

To God the eternal Enjoyer Supreme. ```
