(I can only hope this will age well)
(I'm trying the whole meta thing, where fearing how low something goes, has the effect of stabilizing it. It's all very hand-wavy and complicated...)
Same here,
if I understand you correctly.
For me there are two parts to it:
A logical one where it makes sense to embrace some worse case scenario so that you will be happy with
any outcome.
And a karma part where it's better not to expect too much. Like in: "if you wanna make god laugh tell him your plans" ...or expectations in that case..
