I think you're using 'worst' a little more literal than I am. I just mean, there's good and there's neutral and there's less, which is worst of the three. Worst isn't abject or oppressive, it's just unfavorable. Once you hit the literal worst most of your choices are made for you.Rigsby wrote:I definately don't expect the worst, i just consider what it could be and usually the worst isn't all that bad at all. I think when i was younger i feared the worst without considering what the worst actually was. Once you know, it kind of demystifys (sp?) it and you're free to make your move. Most worst case scenarios aren't actually all that bad at all.
So anything unfavorable usually isn't all that bad, but you want something better and if all possibilities have relatively equal chances, you might have something to become pleasantly surprised by. It's a cynical mo, but hard-wired I guess.
