“When you've hit rock bottom, the fear of failure dies a permanent death in your life.”
by Innocent Mwatsikesimbe — from Vicissitudes of Life, chapter 4
In other words
Fear of failing needs something left to lose. Once the worst has already landed, that fear runs out of fuel, and the thing you called impossible last year becomes a thing you might as well try. Innocent made his best decisions at that low point, while the people watching him assumed he was simply having a bad time of it. The floor is a bad place to live and a clear place to see from.
