And why mention any of this? Is your point that we might as well not even try to do anything? Is your point that our time and circumstances is partially governed by some huge metaphysical electromagnetic force that occupies the whole earth and everything within it like a cloud? Is your point that there is room for spirituall sentiments without having to be religious? Is your point that athletes - who more than anyone - who try to exercize their desire for self controll - may as well not bother?
What is the point of this discussion?
And just because a television set falls on some ones head from a third story window, it does not mean anything whatso-ever, other than that the guy was either not watching where he was walking, or was just plain unlucky.
