odds, probability, chance.....
Posted: Thu May 23, 2024 5:34 pm
I have diabetes...along with high blood pressure
and high cholesterol and other such things...
and my doctor wants me to ''attack'' those diseases
more than I have......more than just taking the pills that
I have taken for many years.....
and it is interesting talking to her.... because she says, you have
a greater risk of this and this and this happening because
you have these risk factors.....
but think about it..... what she is really talking about is odds,
probability and chance..... if my diabetes stays here, this has
a greater probability of happening....but those are nothing more
than odds... you have a greater chance or odds of this happening.....
if all things remain the same.....
probability or chance... I have a chance of an airplane landing on my head
one day, I also have a chance of being hit by a meteorite, and a chance
of winning the lottery.... there are various rates of odds, but they are still
odds.... a possibility of something happening... and the odds of something
happening with diabetes is also possibilities... a chance something might happen....
the odds might increase, but the bottom line is there are just odds,
possibilities....
our entire existence is about odds, probabilities, chance....
it was chance that made me deaf..... and chance/probabilities that makes
you a male or a female....
the bottom line in existence, is the odds, the probabilities that
exists because we are alive.... I have a possibility of being attacked
by a dog.. as well as my odds of dying of a heart attack tomorrow....
as we go about our daily lives, we are faced with the odds...
the odds of dying of something... of a heart attack, of being hit
by a bus, an airplane falling out of the sky... or we have even
better odds or probability of being hurt by something...
of a UFO falling out of the sky... or a shopping cart hitting us,
or someone punching us.....
now my doctor is right, I have odds of something happening from
diabetes... but I also have probabilities or odds of being hit by a random
baseball, a falling UFO, or being haunted by ghost....
life is something that has odds or probabilities attached to it....
nothing is certain..... there are a million and one things that
could, could kill me or injure me.... and each one of those things is
just another odd or probability of something, something happening....
something.......
do I pause my life because of ''something might happen""
that there are some odds of it happening? or should I worry more
about a UFO falling out of the sky landing on my head?
it too has odds, a chance or a probability/possibility....
at what point does one just ignore the odds, the probability/
possibilities, and just goes about our daily life?
life has all kinds of probabilities and possibilities.... which ones do
I pay attention too and which ones do I ignore? and of course,
how do I decide between the two?
