That makes sense, mine tend to say "it will all work out in the end" when confronted with anything too worrying. I see it as a way to avoid having to think or change anything. They got theirs, they're too old to deal with anything bad now so they just look after themselves and hope for the best. Sadly that attitude fucks up their kids futures and they don't want to acknowledge that, so they have to tell themselves that it will all magically be fine in the end.
