When the oceans stop
All bets will be off

Simple philosophy: there are no negatives without an equal positive (or vice versa). So if you should always have a lower expectation going into a new situation. If you would fail, you already knew this; but if you succeed then your original negativity gets an extra boost. Hahaha

I wrote a paper at university "The Positivism of Negativity". I received a high grade and good remarks if this helps convince you.

It's an image that stops my diaphragm. When the global weather making ocean currents stop I can't even finish the sentence
