i know manifestation doesnt work and that you cant exactly will a tragedy to existence, but it still spooks me when someone seriously says "someone's going to die" when looking at genuinely dangerous / unsafe situations. like, the mentality that your every word is a prayer haven't died despite me rationally knowing its not true or even strongly supported in a theological sense.

#remembering D talking about his work safety situation #like there was this fatal accident. a truck driver carrying cargo swerving through an intersection and kills several people #and even though it was another company that suffers that incident ofc everyone in the same industry in the general area had to inspections #and audits to prove to the city it was a freak accident or a fault on the road #but as the safety inspector dude. he founds that the trucks often went years without maintenance. they have their license expired for a #long time and the drivers can never get proper rest because they have to chase quotas and theyre not paid the overtime to be extra careful #like he said to me. how could he do his job if their work culture and daily operations demands people to forget SOP's #like no driver wants to die but they also dont want to spend an extra three hours on the road unpaid with the boss interrogating them on why #theyre so fucking slow #he said something along the lines of ''someone already died and i guarantee someone's going to die again'' #and my instictive reaction was to say 'hey wtf dude dont say shit like that' but he's true #but it doesnt feel good to hear #textposts
