(Sigh) My apologies, but I'm afraid it is only me. It seems this topic was designed to help people not to get their hopes up too high so when they get older they can handle the disappointments so much better. Since I never expect to be right here, I don't feel bad when I'm wrong every single time. If I don't expect to win, then it is automatically a win/win situation. If I don't expect to be right, when I'm wrong, I don't feel disappointed, and not feeling disappointed is a plus. But if I lower my expectations, I'm not only safe from disappointment, but the rare victory here tastes all the more sweet since it was an unexpected honor for my pleasure, not a familiarity that was being hoped for. It's like the person who buys the lottery knowing that there is a slight chance, but realizing that it is so small, he doesn't expect to win when he participates, it's just fun for him to do. Imagine his surprise when he's just doing his thing, almost certain he won't win, then gets the jackpot!
But I suppose this topic is too late to teach me this since I've kept my sights very low for most of my life. Expecting something and not getting it is always called disappointment, even if it is so small you don't notice it unless you look deep within your very being. Although I have already been through the painful training regiment of preparing for what dangers lie in wait for my heart when it longs but does not receive, this topic will be a more pleasant method to keep my resolve in order. Therefore, I make my one chance here, not truly believing I can't be right, but not expecting to be either. Will the next to speak in this domain be brekclub85? As to a victory here, I have uncertainty toward it with very good reason, although it is not absolute. We shall all bare witness to the outcome of this when it arrives. For the time being, however, I bid you all farewell.
