    Well, if it can happen to anybody then it can happen to them, and that’s scary.

    But if you can blame choices, then they just never make that choice and live safely in their judgemental bubbles, because it’ll never happen to them.

    This thinking also “protects” from a multitude of other terrible (potential) life events.
