GOVERNMENT LaMalfatohold community meeting Monday I can uncover the dark cloud behind any silver lining. No matter how undersized the trigger, with just a little time — and a whole lot of para- noia — I can blow it up into a full- scale panic attack. I am no amateur; I have developed this ability beyond the level of a fine art; and I am able to apply it to any aspect of life with equal profi- ciency. For example, per a re- cent column I wrote, I pointed out that some- times I walk from one room to another and for- get why I was going to the new location. It hap- pens, you know? I'm busy; I had a spark of an idea which didn't lock it into the right location in my jam-packed brain and suddenly, there I am standing in the center of my living room staring at the wall painting, befud- dled, questioning myself, "Now, why did I want to come in here?" I could simply laugh it off, attributing it to the "human condition." But, no, not me! I use this minor brain-blurp as a springboard to con- vince myself that I have the first symptom of long- term memory loss, pro- viding me an opportunity to freak out about my vanishing faculties, for- gotten youth, and the in- evitable bleak fate which awaits us all, apparently much closer than I antic- ipated. From there, I spin into a tornado of dread and fright, racing to the internet, researching Al- zheimer's, dementia, and senility. It goes without saying that once one en- ters the festering, moldy hallways of the world- wide web, countless un- imaginable horrific ail- ments are all now on pa- rade, many of which can now be attributed to this very circumstance. I might as well give up, ac- cept the inescapable, col- lapse to the carpet, hold my knees tight to my chest, while rocking back and forth, and babbling incoherently. All right, I'm really not that bad; I'm taking po- etic license. Please don't send me referrals for therapists. This is what we call the "set up" mak- ing a broader point. Research has actu- ally proven that hu- mans are "hard-wired" to assume things will go cattywumpus rather than not. Given the opportu- nity to attribute a ran- dom event to either good news or bad, we will usu- ally assume the road has more potholes than flat patches. In ancient times, it made sense to assume the worst. Primitive hunter- gatherers would go into an idyllic serene valley. The optimists would find this yet one more reason to relax, breathe deeply, catch fish, lie in the sun, and assume the best. Their counterparts, pes- simists, spent every wak- ing moment distressing about any type of calam- ity, turning their exis- tence into an unending backbreaking chain of toil and labor, always one step shy of collapse. Said the optimists to the pessimists, "Re- lax, take a load off. Don't worry so much." Said the pessimists in reply, "Are you kid- ding? This whole thing could come apart at any second. You'll be sorry." With that, they'd turn on their heals and race into the hills, in search of pro- tection from the impend- ing, unforeseen catastro- phe. As it happens, while the pessimists are away engaged in their grueling method of survival, the river overtops its banks, drowns the unaware opti- mists, and leaves only the pessimists — who there- fore became our ances- tors. The trait of hard- luck survival has been passed down ever since. Anticipation and plan- ning surely have their place. Yet, it's equally im- portant to realize that worry is interest on a debt not yet owed. After all, if worry made things better, I single-handedly would be able to correct everything. It's going be what it's going be, enjoy it while it's here.
