'IT'S ALL FOR THE BEST' IS GLIB BUT TRUE. OR, OPTIMISM HEALS

How do you know it's all for the best, you may ask. I don't. Sometimes suffering is just suffering. I've been to the dentist this morning for a root canal, and going again in two days for another one. Yikes! But I tell ya, if I didn't believe it was all for the best, the pain would be a hundred times greater! Optimism heals. While you are sitting in the dentist's chair, if you don't relax, don't believe and tell yourself all will be well, you suffer more.
