Murphy’s law, fate, karma—once again it takes over and we think, “you can count on it”. It may be thought of as a fatalist attitude, but I would argue that we tend to make the same (mistakes) repeatedly. A streak of bad luck is Murphy sitting on my roof. Then there’s the bad things happen in threes originated from the trenches in war and a soldier striking a match, holding it long enough to light three cigarettes. I think that old saying was only a truth. The number three has a lot of history. There are few things in today’s world you can count on with certainty and I hope yours are all good!
