I like this as an antidote to a lot of pollyannish things I keep  
hearing some folks say about the current economy (which is holding my  
retirement savings hostage by denying that they have any value anymore.

I like this because it is so pollyannish that I hope that my  
retirement savings may still have value someday, perhaps even before  
I die,

If it weren't dark you couldn't see the stars.

If I were any brighter the sun wouldn't come up in the morning.

(Hint: the stars are a long long way off.)
