Then there are the people who put on a big show about how they are not concerned in the least and know exactly what to do about everything, but when they are alone at night and the lights go out, they may well be the most frightened of all. There are also plenty of folk who are absolutely certain that the future is an extremely hostile place, no matter what you show or tell them. They stand ready to defend themselves from a million dangers every day, until eventually they become as hard, ugly and cruel as the future they imagined. And finally, there are people who just want to dig an emotional bunker and jump inside. (I'm one of those people) They think if they put up enough walls, they'll always be safe. The irony is that instead of locking others out, they are actually locking themselves in. They may avoid a few things that make life difficult, but in the end, they also miss out on the things that make life worth living, and that makes about as much sense as practicing high fives on your own. -
A far more reasonable approach is simply to put on the bravest smile you've got AND ADMIT THAT YOU ARE NOT THE CENTER OF THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. Therefore, there will always be things you don't know and can't control. So when it's simply not your day and things get a little out of hand, as they invariably do from time to time, it's much more productive and far healthier to just sit back and enjoy the absurdity of the moment.
