It's true! Oh, it's true. One of my absolute favorite of Aesop's fables is that of the rabbits and the frogs. The rabbits are so tired of living their lives in constant fear that they all agree to go drown themselves. But once they reach the riverside, they startle some frogs, who immediately leap into the water. The rabbits realize that however unhappy they may be, at least they're not THAT badly off.

Granted, "this is our hill... and these are our beans," but yes, you're right. It will get better. One way or another, it will get better.
