No matter how far down you go, there is always a choice. A better and worse path. A way to face it.
In the very last moment of your life, you can grimace or smirk. When you can’t even do that anymore, your worries are over. Until that moment, take your best shot.
It doesn’t all even out; some people just have better luck than others. But even within that, some folks squander good luck and some folks still make the best of the bad.
Nothing else to be done about it. Just keep it moving.
