The age-old idea of "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" is a theory that is startlingly common in our day-to-day society. If we think about it, we are often surrounded by a dreadful number of absolute pessimists. People are negative about health and wellness, predicting doom of life as we know it, lamenting their financial woes or academic difficulties, and even complaining over construction zones to create more efficient traffic routes.
In fact, one could probably argue that I'm being negative about others being negative. Whether I'm a half-full or half-empty person, life goes its own direction. My planning may help to steer the way I'd like it, but the truth of the matter is: life happens. Things often occur by chance. If this is nature, why are we so upset about it? If this is nature, how do we even complain of what is; for how do we know that there is anything better?
Life has its own way of making things okay. It may be a bumpy road, but for civilization today, we're pretty miraculously stable. The idea that "anything that can go wrong, will go wrong" is simply contradictory to logic. Sure, things may go wrong. And they may be the things you predicted would turn askew. But not everything is off. The dog may have chewed up your favorite sandals, but he didn't chew all of your shoes. He didn't chew the sandals
