About This Quote
To even mention the possibility of something bad happening is to tempt fate. It seems like when you start talking about something bad, it’s almost like the universe is saying, “Let’s see how it plays out.” I’ve heard a lot of people say that they try not to mention a death in a family because if a relative dies while they are still alive, they find that they start to worry more and more until it feels like the family member is going to die just from their thinking about it.
