I used to be cool
I used to be Really Cool. Nothing could faze me.
If a car swerves towards me and nearly hits me while I was with a friend, he'd go "Hooooly Shit! You could have died."
"Yeah"
"What do you mean Yeah? That car missed you by an inch. You could fucking be on the road bleeding right now."
"But I'm not. Duh!"
Or if someone almost drops an anvil on my head.
"Fuck! That guy almost dropped that anvil..."
"But he didn't."
"He almost did!"
"Yet, he didn't. What difference does it make if he almost did or completely didn't? I'm not almost dead, am I?"
That is until I read about the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics.
Now I'm afraid to leave the house.
