Luck gets some people through when they ought to suffer for a lack of readiness. Not saying I want them to suffer, but it seems the laws of reality would not be so forgiving of me.
I've talked before about my friend who believes she's invincible because she "has medical training" (worked in the kitchen of a nursing home) and can defend herself from any threat with her keys.
Well, she also refuses to take a hurricane seriously... because...? Just because.
She was right in the path of Hurricane Milton. She's only lived in Florida for a few years, but she knows it all. There's no need to prepare for anything. "Nothing is going to happen". She got lucky, again.
Is there anything other than her job, and advancing up the ladder, that would get her attention? I mean, sure, it's great to take your job seriously, but it's pointless if you don't survive because you close your eyes to danger.
I wish she would listen to me, but maybe she doesn't need to. Maybe she really will keep being lucky and will never need to be ready to face any threat. For her sake, I hope so. Because she's determined to not change.
