I had a professor who spent many years in the thick of battle in the Vietnam war. He said this was one of the hardest things to deal with mentally. One person would survive after getting shot all over and the next person would get the smallest bit of shrapnel in the wrong spot and “just turn off.”

Yeah, that’s not common, don’t count on that. Most of the time that you fall from a plane, you’re gonna die.

  Yeah, and most of the time when you trip on a curb, you don’t die. Doesn’t mean we can’t talk about the fringe cases.
