-An objective person would say, "It's logical that someone would fall down there."

-A fire-and-brimstone preacher would tell you that you deserve the pit.

-A Christian Scientist would tell you the pit is just in your mind.

-A psychologist would ask you how you feel about falling in the pit and that someone else is to blame.

-A self-esteem therapist will tell you to believe in yourself and you will get out of the pit.

-An optimist would tell you things could be worse.

-A pessimist would tell you things will get worse.

-Your boss would tell you that it doesn't count as a sick day so it will be taken out of your vacation days.

-Your sibling will tell you it is payback for the mean things done by you as a child.

-Your parents will tell you, "We told you so but you didn't listen to us."

But:

Jesus will take you by the hand and lift you out of the pit.
