But what can we do? All dreams are subject to reality.
These little numbers, they can drain your hope like no other. They crawl into your mind and leave room for nothing else. Whether it's a question of "This operation has a 5% survival rate?", or "The 72% on the test is all I'm worth? The C- is all that defines me?", I hope someday people learn to look beyond the numbers. Forgive a little bit of quantity - instead, look at the quality. I'm sure we'd all rather have one great friend than just five friends. Or really succeed in doing one thing instead of being a bit above average on everything.
I guess most of the question is keeping faith.
When these rock hard facts shower down on us, our hope can be a shield more solid than diamonds.
"The best of us can find happiness in misery", to quote Fall-Out Boy.
