If something bad can happen, it usually will.


How come it always seems that if something bad can happen it usually will? How is it that i was actually early for once on my way to Philosophy class, and as I'm getting off the freeway, my tire completely blows out and I lose control and have to swerve off the road? Sometimes when things are going good, something bad happens to make what was good, now a bad situation.

Why does this happen? Is it a lesson we are supposed to be learning? I don't know. I feel like often times when I am doing something, anything within the day, I think of possibilities of something bad happening. For example, if I am walking by myself through a crowd of people wearing heels and I keep telling myself "please don't trip, please don't trip", and I trip, did I make myself trip by thinking about it? I believe that if we think about something happening, like tripping, it will happen because our mind focuses on the word "trip". But in this tire blow out case, I wasn't thinking about, "What if my tire blew out right now while I'm actually early?" But it happened anyways. I don't know. It's just weird how things work out! It feels like somehow, something has to go wrong.
