"it could always be worse"

That is my least favourite saying. So what we're really saying is that the depths of bad situations are infinite.

Maybe I'll start saying that.

"So yeah, I'm kinda feeling down because of all these bad things that are happening."
"Well, the depths of bad situations are infinite!"

Then I'll smile sympathetically, like people always do after saying "it could always be worse".

True. Things could always be worse. Things could always be better.

Well, things are okay...for now.
