Imagine a scenario where things could have gone horribly wrong, but they didn't—like planning a road trip only to find out the car could have broken down halfway there! That’s where downward counterfactuals come into play, helping us appreciate the present despite the twists and turns we avoided. Thinking about how bad it could've been can make you more grateful for what you have. If you narrowly escaped a mistake, like sending an embarrassing email to your boss, that downward counterfactual can serve as a great reminder for being more cautious in the future!
