Heard about the guy who fell off a sky­scraper? On his way down past each floor, he kept say­ing to reas­sure him­self: “so far so good… so far so good… so far so good..” But how you fall doesn’t mat­ter. It’s how you land which mat­ters the most.

Long time ago, some­where on the road :

— So, where do you want to go next ?

— Well, let me see… This city is sup­posed to be gringoland, but I’ve heard this one is pretty dangerous…

— Don’t worry about that, I’m immor­tal, I sur­vived cross­ing streets in China.

— Are you nuts ? Don’t say it, you’ve just con­tra­dicted Murphy’s law !

— Which is…?

— Basi­cally, every time you think that the worst is behind you, that you can’t expe­ri­ence worse than you had, that you can’t go any lower, then bam, some­thing unex­pected hap­pens. And it’s usu­ally not pretty.

— Really ?

— Hey, peo­ple wrote books about that ! Sure I’m serious !

— So basi­cally, there’s no hope.

— Now you’re depress­ing me…
