I'm old enough to have seen quite a few things that were pretty discouraging--the nuclear arms race comes to mind.
I've been in a war, had a few car accidents, been divorced, had a couple of kids, seen economic hard times, watched gas prices increase more than tenfold.
But I still think the good times outweigh the bad. And somehow we always manage to come through without damaging ourselves too badly.
When I consider a decision I look at the upside, the downside and weigh my options. And usually things turn out okay.
How about you? Are you a happy hoper or an unhappy moper? Would I love being around you or would I want to shoot myself after about ten minutes?
