Pair with Three Little Birds by Bob Marley
An albino lizard named Bruno kept interrupting the Universe. Every time the Universe tried to tell him something, Bruno would get impatient and finish the sentence himself.
“Today will be…” — “…awful. Just awful.”
“This is happening because…” — “…everyone is out to get me.”
“Change is…” — “…uncomfortable and unsafe.”
“You will be…” — “…disappointed.”
“After the rain comes…” — “…flooding.”
Bruno didn’t do this to bring himself down; quite the contrary, he just wanted certainty and to be prepared for the worst. It was a preemptive strike, and as it turned out, a good one because the Universe then fulfilled all his wishes.
