Would you consider yourself cursed if death tried getting you 3 times?

That's my life story. Death tried to get me 3 damn times. First as a premature baby. My mom had to get an emergency c-section at just 7 months pregnancy. I nearly didn't make it.

2nd attempt: Stupid drunk driver hits me when I'm 15 and flees from the scene, leaving me on the ground, bloody and in pain. Initially I was in serious condition (sedated due to the pain) but then eventually recovered.

Last attempt: It was nearly the ending of 2020. I was suffering from weight issues and high blood pressure too so that complicated things. Nearly didn't make it and a month later or so, I woke up suddenly. No health nor weight issues since.

I don't know what to think. That's 3 attempts already. Would you feel cursed if death tried to get you more than once?

If it were only three, I'd consider myself blessed. Death IS trying to get you- constantly- and it won't stop until it succeeds. We've built a society around thwarting it, but in the end, it gets us all. All we can really do is try to set the time, place, and means, and hope that both it and us have matured enough to not see one another as the enemy.

I'd feel blessed because it failed thrice.

Yeah I think I can see it that way. I sure gave my parents major headaches. I can't imagine what they must have gone through those 3 times they were afraid of losing me.

I'm an eternal optimist, so take what I say with that in mind. :)

Complete opposite, you're incredibly lucky. Count your blessings.

Not cursed, just badass

True. I can't imagine the hours of agony my poor parents underwent those 3 times. The last one was the worst for then. While I was at the hospital, in the ventilator and in coma, my parents were restless, staying awaken all night, praying I would make it.

And now here you are still being a legend. Not even death can catch you. Im sure life has a big plan ahead for you and your family 🤟🤟🤟

why would you think that way?
that should be telling you your still alive for a reason.

karma doesn't always punish you
the light at the end of the tunnel isn't always a train.

True. I gave my poor parents headaches. On the final attempt death tried getting me, my parents prayed and kept telling everyone that I'll get out of the ventilador, get healthy again and wake up from the coma soon. They got their wish.

Now I'm healthier and stronger than before.

No, also most people risk death on a daily basis without realizing it.

You could die choking on a meal or slipping in the tub or falling down stairs or from any number of things people do all the time.

No. I’d consider myself very lucky I survived three times!

No, I would not consider a few perfectly normal if uncommon events to be evidence of the supernatural.

That's absurd.
