Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity,
but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain,

thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution
that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.

To others, something amazing, extraordinary, or unexpected.

are all so improbable.
