#43: Oh Yes, It Can
“It can’t get any worse” Is one of those things that we tell ourselves to feel better about our situations. If you are feeling absolutely miserable—if your car broke down in the rain and a raccoon ran off with your wallet—saying “It can’t get any worse” might be strangely comforting.
But oh, buddy, it could absolutely get worse. It can always get worse. Maybe while you are waiting for the tow truck in the rain, you find out that they cancelled your favorite TV show and then you get bitten by a werewolf and then the aliens invade. So don’t count your chickens before they hatch; it can always get worse.
