I've tripped several times in my life while walking. I've even hurt myself a few times. I don't go outside wincing to myself about whether I'm about to fall and hurt myself.

You choose the attitude you want to have in your life to disappointment and the attitude you bring to this site. You chose cynicism. You're going to crowd out people who don't make the same choice.
