Maybe I'm not talking about exactly the same thing, but there was a point in my life when I noticed that the shitty parts come in cycles, and that helped me live through the less endurable things. In that sense I would agree.
But I still haven't bought into the living life fuller in fear of its ending. I don't care. When I'm dead I'm dead and will never roam again. I try to enjoy my life just because of the fun of it. And, hey, sometimes I succeed. Might even be often

Guess that would be relatively accurate if you fear death.....which I cant say I do. To me, death is just another step and will hopefully bring about a new adventure.
As for a pessimist outlook, that is off the mark. To be a pessimist, requires a belief that life is negative. I do not view the black and white, as it is all good in the long run.
