So, you have found yourself
at the bottom of the bottomless
pit of despair and doubt.
Again.

Don't worry, with time
you'll get used to the cold
and the numbness of mind
and the pain.

Rejoice! You've set foot
on a ground where
no human or beast
stepped before!

Now you have plenty of time
to rethink, to replan,
reconsider, recant, as all
your concerns are no more!

An optimist knows that things can always get worse, even when they're already bad. And when they are bad - how bad is that? Is it as bad as you thought it would be? Do you have the feeling that your concerns were exaggerated? And even if they weren't - don't you feel some form of relief anyway?
