    There's also an ancient Chinese parable that is pretty much this story. A man's horse one day runs away, and days later he returns with a mare who then also provides labor at his farm. Another day, the man's son falls off a horse and suffers a leg injury, but later a military draft passes, and his leg injury got him exempt while the other draftees in his village eventually all got killed in battle. There was way more to the story, but I've forgotten most of it.

    “The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, and it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad - because you never know what will be the consequence of the misfortune; or, you never know what will be the consequences of good fortune."

    Yup, that's how life works. Some of us go through life thinking if bad luck was all there was because no other luck shows itself. We do if lucky learn some sidesteps to make that can avoid some bad luck. But like in Eric's case do we really avoid bad luck or maybe miss some good luck coming in our direction. We just don't know and that is what life offers us. Luck (good or bad) and uncertainty. Here's to you all, stay true to yourself, no regrets that way. ✌️

      “Imma” means “I am going to”. E.g. “Imma go to gym later”.
      Therefore, “Imma bout to” means “I am going to about to” which doesn’t make sense.
      If you wanted to say “I’m about”, “I’m about” is literally shorter than “Imma bout” anyway

    I had this same kind of effect some years ago. It was the time my best friend has died, and he was the only person I ever felt remotely close to and understood by- my everything, although it sounds cheesy. The despair of feeling alone, the despair of feeling like I could have done anything differently and maybe change the outcome, ran through me like a truck (no pun intended). It's now that I realize, paradoxically, it was the best thing that ever happened to me, because I felt alone. It made me own up to my life, leave an abusive relationship, try all the things I wanted, build up by myself, and soon I'm leaving in a country I love to pursue my dream career, being a person my inner child, my inner teen and my present me are proud of.

    It's been a year. I have to write this. It's crazy. A year ago I was watching this video. While I was watching it, like 3 minutes in I hear a muffled voice outside my door of my dad saying something like "she got hit by what?" With a scared voice. He was on the phone with my brother. I ran out of my room crying. I just knew. My dog got hit by a car while on her walk. It was the worst day of my life. And after running out of my house into the car to see where and how she is I was thinking of this video I never finished. I love your channel, I love your videos. But now, a year later I'm finally writing about this. This video is intertwined with that experience.
    When we got to her that night, she was already gone. I said I love you a million times and hugged her hoping she can somehow feel it. I had her for 13 years. I loved her deeply. Something about this video and that night will never be forgotten.

    If she sees a rabbit, then she‘ll chase it
    If She‘ll chase it, then she’ll get lost
    If she’ll get lost, then Vanessa‘ll find her
    If Vanessa’ll find her, then I’ll meet Vanessa
    If I’ll meet Vanessa, then I‘ll fall in love
    If I fall in love, then I drive to her
    If I drive to her, then I’ll crash my car
    If I crash my car, then I’ll hurt my head
    If I hurt my head, then I’ll get a CAT scan
    If I get a CAT scan, then they’ll find a tumor
    If they find a tumor, then I won’t die

      Yup, maybe instead of watching this video you go on down the list of recommended and found a video about art, it's a girl that is just drawing something you like, a video game maybe, a movie too. But you look surprised the way the markers make the drawing so beautiful but you don't take much note to them, your 6 minutes are up and you decide to go to sleep, 3 weeks later you decide to go out with your mom to the store, you see the markers from the video, they are actually not that expensive so you decide to buy them, you try them on and absolutely love them, you start using them frequently and get better at drawing, actually you get very good at it. 4 years later you keep drawing, a friend discovers you have talent and give you a job at animating.

    The baby horse becomes muscular and the man's son rides it.

      But the rabbit was only there because it was born by a set of rabbit, so going back 3.5 billion years ago Eric didn't die from cancer because of the beginning of life on the planet. But life started because of the existence of earth, so Eric didn't die because of the earth. But the earth was formed because of the sun, but the sun was formed due to the big bang. So Eric didn't die from cancer because of the creation of the universe.
