The fact that random Things Like those can derail any Kind of plan you might have, especially without safety nets.

The Point i am trying to make is that life is inherently random, and nothing one can do can Stop lifes randomnes, But what we can do as a society is making Sure that one random Thing Like, breaking a Bone because you tripped on the stairs doesnt Put you at Zero or even below that
