Everything will find a steady state?

The rains finally start trickling in. All their sleepless nights can be laid to rest. Agriculture can continue as it used to be. It also marks the end of all of Mr. X's dilemma. For Mr. Y, it is just another day in paradise.
Imagine a scenario of two farmers living in the middle of nowhere in bad times. The dry spells have gone way too long than it should and the land is drier than usual. In the early days of drought as the alarm was slowly raised, Mr. X's level of anxiety and worry escalated correspondingly in tandem with the raising temperature. The weather forecast was his daily companion. Overnight, he had become a meteorologist. He knew the various directions of winds, about the pressure isobars, wind patterns and much much more. He also became a master planner of his finances, an excellent stock keeper and a prudent consumer. Day in and day out, his job was to gaze into the horizon and at the same time pondering upon his precariously 'perceived' bleak future if the rains did not emerge anytime!
On the other Mr. Y, his neighbour, was in no such conundrum and no such hurry. After all, they were both in the same profession and expected the same windfall (and rainfall). Mr. Y, however, took everything in stride - at a relaxed pace, that is. He lives in the belief that everything would reach a steady state. His daily chores went unfettered. He still sipped his regular ale, enjoying the sunset strumming his old banjo.
The rain was actually God sent. Everybody's problem seems solved - but Mr. Y had no problem in the first place.
It is a simplistic way of looking at life. Being worried and planning for eventualities is what made Man survive as species all these years. This trait had helped him to transform from the position of being a prey at the beginning of time to their current predator status.
All these planning and thinking of the worst improved their survival skills. But then, the next time a problem arises, they would soon realise that their old ways do not work and have to devise newer strategies and not leave everything to chance.

Like in this cartoon strip, Courage, the cowardly dog, literally goes through
Hell to save his barn and his masters. His masters, on the other hand, are 
oblivious to the dangers that Courage had endured to save the day. For his
masters, it is just another day and Courage is just another dog.
