Can do a couple things.

sucking sinkhole of
depression,

to climb out of. Or it
can trigger an epic

to overcome the odds
and transform failure
into success. Say you

kick, you lose your seat.
Injury is likely. But if you
worry about falling
down,
and never chance "up,"
the sky will remain
forever out of reach.
