I started a discussion about "agathism" on Wordcraft, so I'll not repeat it here. However, Tim Alborn, one of my favorite limerick writers on OEDILF, wrote this nice limerick about it:
"All is well!"—so the optimists cry, 
Which the pessimists say is a lie, 
While the agathists state 
There's a happier fate 
That we'll happen upon, by and by.
Agathism recognizes the existence of evil but holds that all things tend toward the good.
