Some would call that faith, or optimism, or "staying positive". Others would call it what it is - wishful thinking :)

I like this one:

Pessimist sees only the overwhelming darkness of the tunnel.
Optimist sees only the light at the end of the tunnel.
Realist recognizes light as the headlamp of the oncoming train.
Train driver sees three idiots on a railway. :D

Exactly. The Occupant ceding (until noticed!) to the vagaries and predispositions of the Driver. ;)

And so it goes.

If you've never read any Vonnegut, there's a gift waiting for you.
