Latter Day Sinner

For most of my life I have been intentionally pessimistic. Bad things can happen and bad things do happen. But when I thought of a bad thing first I was either more prepared when it did happen or pleasantly surprised when it didn’t. Life has been pretty good lately and I’m inclined to believe it will continue to be good. Of course that means when bad things happen not only am I disappointed by the thing but also about being wrong for not anticipating it.
