sigh... And if all you expect is Tragedy, then tragedy is all you get. And even when good things -do- come your way, you appreciate them a little, but the back of your head always fears when it's going to end, or what dark fate may be around the bend to pull it all away. Is that what you experience? If that is so, then "in fear" is no way to live your life. Tragedy can be just as easily delt with -without- having to be a Gloomy McGloomyPants the whole time, even in it's absence.
Let me put this for you a different way. Most ponies go through life with expectations. When those expectations aren’t met, they’re disappointed.
Me? If I order a sandwich and it’s not completely inedible, I’m pleased with the outcome! As long as something doesn’t go terribly wrong, I’m fine!
And when it does? I’m… I’m more prepared.
