Why is it that people tend to not take risks and gamble when necessary when literally the whole life is filled with them?

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

Isn't it a constant bother to always be sure and calculating?

I find it to be. And I like what I do to be at least technically perfect.

I used to keep everything planned and all. Like a hard plan kind of stuff. But now I understand they don't work out. At all.

Flexibility and the will to adapt to uncertain changes or risks is what makes a plan at least a bit praftical one.

Then why people try to live an all planned life?

Like when choosing your spouse. It ia truly a gamble. But people try to tind a person who adjusts according to their timetable. Or suits their needs. These are weird people according to me.

Not everything can be planned na.

I only tamble at the casino 🤷‍♀️ I am rarely flexible and I only adapt if forced. I understand not everything can be planned. But that doesn't mean i can't prepare myself for the worst and hope for the best. That i will continue to do.

Planning helps me feel in control. I have little to no control over the situation if I jump head first.

Because they like security, me I take chances on boot fairs and such seeing another profit sometimes you win some times you learn

For some people, failure in circumstances where failure is foreseeable is tantamount to being simply stupid.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

But is it?

[OlderAndWiser]

People make risk-taking decisions based on their perceptions, regardless of whether their perceptions are true.

Unfortunately life taught me a long time ago, that sometimes plans don't work. You might find yourself in a situation much different from what you imagined. Now I try to have positive thoughts and deal with what life brings me.

It's important to have some control, otherwise your life might become messy. That's why some people play it safe.

Okay, well, good luck with that strategy. I hope it works out for you. Hopefully she only takes your truck and lets you keep the dog.

I did not get your last sentence.

[Jamie05rhs]

You're gonna get divorced, bro.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

I am not married. I am a single guy.

[Jamie05rhs]

That's why you need to choose carefully. There is still time to avoid making a bad decision.

[Justneedtokno]

A lot of people think they have more control of the numbers then there life

[BarryLiverstone]

For mainly two reasons, fear of the unknown of fear of getting hurt again.
