You have to know probabilities and go for that which has the best probably outcome. Is it safer to cross the highway using the overhead padestrian bridge or to run across the highway?
If you think, the overhead bridge can also collapse while I am on top, so I run across .... right, idiot, living life according to "accidents" "miracles"
Hmm... who is the actual idiot that add words in my mouth?
Of course i cannot include natural death, suicides or accidents lah!
What i mean was dunno-how-long ago, theres cases of doctors died for no reason! And also so healthy NS officers!
Dun put things in my mouth and point your finger at me jsut because you did not get what i mean in the first place!

You are overly sensitive, no?
I said "If you think, the overhead bridge can also collapse while I am on top, so I run across .... right, idiot, living life according to "accidents" "miracles""
I do not mean "you" as in "Hawk Eye" I mean the general "you", the people that think like that.
You said: " this goes to show that even those exercise regularly will also die miraculously."
What I am trying to say is "SO WHAT?" Just because some people "die miraculously" does not mean that you do not exercise, just like you do not run across the highway to get across just because if you use the overhead bridge, the pedestrian overhead bridge might collapse in an earthquake.

Then u might want to consider phrasing your sentence more understandable to properly getting your message across. No matter how i read it, the "YOU" that you're referring to, does not sounds like the general "YOU".
Confuse....

How can it be you, Hawk Eye, when you did not say to run across the highway?

Not so much "a relationship" but that such things are cyclical.... and as sure as dawn will come 12 hours after sunset, you can expect the nasty flu version to appear within 10 years.
