I once said this to my mom, when I was trying to calm one of her hysterics.
I said that she needed to tell herself that her life was a movie, and she had the power to choose whether she was the victim or the heroine.
Um...accidentally the wrong thing to say to someone who is...well, a life long heroin addict now living with AIDS.
I quickly realized what I said and tried to replace my statement with "hero". It was an unintentionally funny moment, but definitely good for a laugh when I look back.
You have to laugh at life or it will swallow you up.
