It's more just a way to acknowledge how you don't know whether to laugh or cry about an intense situation. It will yet have a good outcome as bestowing an enhanced ability to accept what might previously have seemed unacceptable, and even to recognise the hidden reward in such stoic behaviour. It is not so much liberation that awaits you soon, as vindication.
Monster will inspire many people to start walking away from situations that they have been striving to tolerate whilst secretly yearning to escape. You might think that the folk who took the trouble to track him down should get the choice. But then, that's what happens when secrets come to light. Everyone has an opinion. Today you must ask, who truly has a vested interest in the outcome of a process?
What about the person who bought an expensive burglar alarm and then was so worried about having it stolen that he bought another alarm to protect his alarm! There comes a point when we simply have to decide that we are just not going to let ourselves worry any more. There is always something to be on the lookout for, always a hidden potential problem. But not everything that might one day manifest actually does. You really need to proceed with more confidence.
Imagine if every maternity ward had a resident astrologer. Whilst many of may enjoy such a post, we wouldn't like being asked to cast the chart of each new-born child and assess the likelihood of them growing up to break the law one day. The naughty ones could be sent straight to prison as soon as they were old enough, thus saving a fortune in future legal fees. But you can't punish someone just because they have the potential to do something - or we would all be in jail.
Try not to jump to premature conclusions ' Just be appreciative.' Much the same can be said about the advice you need to follow. Don't settle for what you once wanted, just because it is at long last on offer, but nor need you feel that you are thus obliged to turn it down. Today, governments assure us that their policies can only benefit the nation. Tomorrow? The politicians concerned look sheepish and say, 'Well, we knew we were taking a gamble but we felt we had to act as if we had to display confidence.' It's the same with authority figures, from teachers to company directors and the heads of respected institutions, who all refuse to concede the very possibility that they could be in error.
In allowing for this now, you are showing nothing but courage and can yet expect to be well rewarded.Always look on the bright side of life...' We all remember that song from the closing moments of The Life Of Brian. Now, here is a philosophical question. Is it a musical homage to the merits of optimism or a wry, ironic, dig at the pointlessness of being a Pollyanna? I mean, there was Brian and he could hardly have been in a poorer position. What on earth did he really have to sing so cheerfully about? What else was he supposed to do? Collapse in despair and self-pity? Keep smiling , and you will yet see a reason to smile.
