Worries Are Unreliable - Issue 58 - 23rd April 2023

I want to briefly discuss Sod’s Law. The law goes that “anything that can go wrong will go wrong” (1). The pessimist views this as a negative aspect of life however the wise optimist views this as freedom. Since we do not know what will happen next in life, why would we worry about it? The issue with worries is that they rarely come to fruition, thus they are incredibly unreliable as a predictor for the future.
