So you're saying that we should not chance having something good happen for fear that something bad could happen?

It's like telling your kids that you'll never let anything happen to them. I understand keeping the bad stuff from happening, but keeping anything from happening? If you do that, nothing good will ever happen to them.

How does that song go?

"I could've missed the pain,
But I'd've had to miss
The dance"
