Fiction is sort of a way to set the record straight, and let people at least believe that justice can be achieved and the right outcomes can occur.
In running, I can internalize that intensity. I can handle it because it's me and I'm coming back in the next race. I'm always ready for the next race.
Every pessimist who ever lived has been buried in an unmarked grave. Tomorrow has always been better than today, and it always will be.
