But if this is not the case, I don't think most people will care. College degrees don't always bring jobs. Jobs may not last until retirement. Marriages can fail. Some children grow up to kill their parents who gave them life.
Stock markets can crash.
Farms might not yield the hopeful harvest. Tornadoes and Earthquakes can't be stopped. Drugs and doctors that should cure sometimes kill. Perhaps they hide their fears in a bucket of apathy, since they realize that they either can't do much to protect themselves or they have failed to attempt it at all.
