I want to know the answer to the following question:
Buddhism seeks to be neither pessimistic or optimistic, but what?
All the background I'm provided with is that "As such, "suffering" is too narrow a translation with "negative emotional connotations"[web 9] that can give the impression that the Buddhist view is pessimistic, but Buddhism seeks to be neither pessimistic nor optimistic, but realistic.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
