I made sure that anyone I talked to would know not to mention it to him. I always remember this little story: One day as I walked out of church, feeling sad and lonely, someone tapped my shoulder and said - Cheer up, things could be worse - And so I did, I cheered up! And sure enough things got worse. Moral of this story: TCBW only makes things worse.
