ceteris paribus

a group of executor line up in front of a blindfolded man. only one of their rifles which is loaded with a real bullet. the rest are empty.

lets say that these men are a good shooter. the wind is hard, and they are shooting from a long range. the only chance the blindfolded man has, is when the wind blows so hard, it could spare him the bullet from drilling his heart to death.

the company doesnt really wanted to execute the man. just by chance. by fate, as you faithful said.

what if..the wind doesnt blow hard in the right time..? the man would drop off.
ceteris paribus.

a plan was set up to set pristine forest to be chopped off.. but the planner doesnt really means to chopped it down. the heated debate comes across. what if your hope is fail...? "we hope that it wont happened."

ceteris paribus.

if you fail to plan, you planned to fail.
ceteris paribus.
