Misery Loves Company

Law Of Conservation Of Misery
This popular adage says that in a closed system, misery remains constant. It is built upon the following principles:
  1. Nothing is as easy as it looks.
  2. Everything takes more time than what you think.
  3. If there is the possibility that many things could go wrong, the one which causes more damage will be the only one that will go wrong and it will happen in the worst moment.
  4. If you think that there are four possibilities for something to fail and you avoid them, in that moment will suddenly appear a fifth one.
  5. When you let things go by their own, they usually go from bad to worse.
  6. Just when you are about to do something, you will realize that there's something you had to do before.
  7. Any new solution brings by itself new problems.
  8. It's useless to make something foolproof, fools are very smart.
  9. Nature's always in favor of the hidden imperfection.
  10. Nature's a bitch.
  11. If you try to do something even perfect, you will realize you're wasting your time.
