It is generally helpful to be prepared for unfortunate events, because such events do sometimes happen and if you are prepared for them, you will deal with them more successfully. For example, you buy fire insurance for your house, so that if your house catches on fire, you will be financially compensated and will be able to afford to repair your house or possibly buy a new one. However, that does mean that you should actually expect your house to catch on fire, and live in constant fear that you will return home only to find nothing but ashes. It is more emotionally healthy to have an optimistic view of life, and to expect good things. Even so, you prepare for bad things. You hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
