Beware of premature optimism

Call from LA friend, just lost first cousin whom she visited in hospital, on road to recovery, sitting up, laughing and joking, then got infection and zap! he's gone. Or my own mother, checking out of hospital after successful surgery, drops dead on the hospital lobby floor!

The minute you think you have the gods figured out, they give it to you both barrels. An argument for humility.
