Protagonism

Protagonism: noun. The belief that in one's life one's path will ultimately lead to a successful and happy ending, no matter what choices are taken along the way. This philosophy was proposed by the great Jacques Derrida, unfortunately rather than being accepted as the humorous ridicule it was meant to be, it was taken up by the philosophical community, as a valid 'ism'. This distressed Derrida so much that he withdrew from contact with any and all brass instruments until the end of his life.
