As long as POSS…

As long as POSSIBILITY exists…

…NEVER can never be.

An epiphany I had one day after a stats class in college. It seems that the only thing that will never happen IS “never”. Ever pay attention to those cleaning product commercials and how their product can only kill “99.9% of germs?” Well, in statistics nothing is ever 100%; it’s either 90, 95, or 99 (something with how the math works out, I forget how she explained it. It’s confidence intervals, look it up). Anyway, that remaining 5, 10, or so percentage could be considered probability. Well, probability ain’t nothing but possibility spelled with a few extra letters. The big brother. The “ugly” sister. Whatever. To make things more relative, think about how often we say we’re NEVER going to do something and somehow, someway we end up doing it. A lot of times it’s done without thinking, not having a choice, or hell, love got to you (the most common 😂). Or even by happenstance! (like the many people who kill burglars protecting their homes. Bet they said they’d NEVER kill anyway). Moreover, we tend to preface our statements with “🐶, I’m 90/95/99% sure [insert whatever fact you believe you’re sure about HERE]” Anyway, my point is this: never say never. Because as long as the possibility exists, one can never be 100% sure they won’t do something (disclaimer: this may not apply to all things, but somewhere in the world it has already) 🙋Signed, Too Smart for my Own Good
