Ever have a time in your life that was so bleak and black and hopeless, there seemed no point to it at all? Maybe there have been many instances. Ever string all these times together to make a metaphorical black pearl necklace you can never remove? Kind of like a tattoo that starts on the skin and etches itself all the way down to the nooks and crannies of your DNA?
Positive, life-affirming thoughts are all very well but they don't always make any sort of difference to your life itself. A good attitude is always preferable to a bad one. Period. However, really bad lives can happen to people who have grace, dignity and wit. They can happen to people who are honest and kind. They can happen to people who clearly deserve better. They can happen.
