I agree. We will always be victims of the pitfalls, but we can find ways to soften the landing.
I also believe in karma and the laws of nature. These people think that just because they live on the biggest hill and possess the lion's share of the wealth, they are immune to these laws. Knowing this is what makes me smile while enduring their rhetoric.
