  it doesnt matter what you expect or what you hope for... i almost agree with your theory that everything happens for a reason.... and your theory on bad being the new not so good, well, i don't mean to be rude, but its almost redundant... if you expect the worst, well then things are going to be bad, you'lll be constantly depressed...

  with the bull shit i have gone through in my short stay on this earth, i have learned that life is about outlook... i smile and expect the best.. i give myself the best... and you know what, i make the best out of the worst situation... call me an optimist, call me a moron, but things are definitely going well for me....

  and as for everything that happens having a reason, you're right, but we HAVE TO MAKE the reason... learn from the mistakes, thats the reason

  I know what you mean Terry -years ago I studied Sociology, and the definition of 'poverty' (in UK) changed what USED to be poverty is now called 'Absolute Poverty' as poverty now means having all basic luxury!

  I drove through the poorest section of my city yesterday and saw satellite dishes on practically every roof!

  I saw a couple of the most destitute people on their front porch in rags talking on their cellphone!

  I also saw some really nice cars (better than mine) parked in driveways.

  Poverty ain't wot it used to be, guvnor!

  Yeah...Terry...don't make me drag out my old thread (or, rather, old post from a thread)....

  You can put more viniagrette on a salad...but if the spinach is already past eating, it's already past eating....

  The 'dressings' can be deceptive sometimes.

  I prefer 'hope for the best, prepare for the worst'... I do this when I prepare for tests or other assignments at school, I haven't been caught unprepared for a test yet.
