[Saying things outright is always a risk; saying things outright is always scary, unambiguously showing an entire hand to someone who might have a better one. It's only presenting them with the confidence to bet higher if it's so, or the prudence to fold if it's not.

Do you believe that if an outcome is unchangeable by an individual, ignorance is a sort bliss? We know this Bogeyman; billions of people didn't. So I wonder if they were lucky... to not meet the author of their fate. Maybe it was an act of God, to them; they didn't know better.
