- Many of the so-called “dark clouds” that supposedly follow us around are of our own making. That’s right—they aren’t real. They are figments of our imaginations, nefarious ghosts hiding out in our cerebral attics, mere fleeting apparitions meant more to scare than to actually inflict injury. They are no more real to a learned eye than the existence of the Tooth Fairy or the probability of a balanced federal government budget in the foreseeable future. Hence, move on with your life and quit inventing feeble excuses for remaining average!
