It's like reminding my daughter that she can be doing everything right and some drunk can come flying out of nowhere and smack her. Which actually did happen, except it wasn't a drunk it was a guy whose brakes failed. Oh, and it happened again the weekend of her bridal shower. Her fiance had someone spin out of control and hit him head on. The failings of the insurance company and the auto repair shop caused them problems for three months. They're lucky neither of them were permanently injured. Lucky. Not wise or prepared or responsible. Lucky.

You just keep thinking people can control everything in their lives. I'm telling you it is just not so. And my experience is that arrogance in thinking that it IS so contributes to as many failings as anything else.
