My opinion is that people who are negatively affected by difficult circumstances outside their control are usually driven to wishful thinking and operate under assumptions, and a mental model, that are far too removed from reality.
Just watch your friends the next time your group gathering is inconvenience by a forced change in plans, and watch out for the first person who becomes angry or yells out "oh great!", etc.
It's just a guideline though, not a dogma.

F'rinstance I know that the guy swearing like a sailor because of some minor thing is a sailor and has dealt with the shit hitting the fan in a hurricane out where there's no possibility of rescue; if he wants to blow of a little steam, let him. Hell, it's even funny, it lightens the mood of the rest of the group!
