I'm a realist. I think the world is beautiful.

    The realist is someone who usually misses the kaleidoscope of their surroundings.

    The natural world defiantly is beautiful, but I am not so much the grey concrete.

    I like you're way of thinking. Perception is reality, I always say!

    Your aphorisms inspire me to make my own ones. I may or may not have scheduled one post on my blog already....

    It is! In the eyes of the optimist beholder, who accepts that this world is not perfect, it's natural beauty supersedes all its imperfections.

    Only optimism can do this, as it reaches parts other ethical systems fail to reach....usually because they're too pragmatic.

    A realist smells the roses before the petals fall.

    The world indeed is beautiful. And we all need to wake up to seeing that beauty everywhere. Very nice aphorism, np :)

    That is a very good attitude in life and that is what God wants us to do.John 10:10 says A thief comes only to rob, kill and destroy. I came so that everyone would have joy, and have it to the fullest, until it overflows.
    Always see the beauty in everything, and enjoy life.

    The world is beautiful to a realist? Pathological irony?

    I guess that beuty is in the eye of the beholder...but a blind man can't play those jungle drums.

    You'd be surprised, poets like Yeats and Wilfred Owen, about whom I've written, tend to disagree.

    Interestingly, I read an article about this very topic recently, which suggested humans tend to skew somewhat more negative than reality in their thinking, so aligning your view in a slightly more positive vein actually means it's more realistic. I thought it was a nice way of thinking of it.

    The world is beautiful sounds like words from an idealist. But maybe we need to define world.
