This sort of thing always comes up when I talk to my friends about marriage. I tell them that I'll never get married because of the divorce statistics, and they tell me that only dumb foolish people get divorced. I tell them "how do I know I'm also not a dumb foolish person or whoever I marry isn't a dumb foolish person?" I haven't found an answer to that yet.
Genuinely not trying to start a flame war, just trying to make an interesting point.
- jliptzin 8y agoThat’s the kind of observation I’ve come to appreciate the older/wiser I get. You start off life feeling invincible, that those kinds of stats won’t apply to you because you’re not a fool like everyone else. But eventually you learn to pay attention to the stats because much more often than not you fall pretty close to the center of the bell curve for most things in life, no matter what.
