>>905 agreed totally.

I think a part of the motivation behind these kinds of "inspirational" statements is that the speakers themselves are often trying to convince themselves that everything's all right. Everyone has at least a few insecurities or fears for the future, and it's nice to think that there's some kind of power in the universe or logic that's protecting us or guiding us down a path. I've known a few people who were outwardly very positive and said shit like this but were inwardly miserable/depressed/anxious, and I think that's not an uncommon thing.
