“Sometimes in life things happen and there isn’t a clear lesson to learn. Perhaps you’ll find yourself absolutely destroyed by a case of the flu for a couple of weeks and think [I should have had a flu shot] is the lesson, and then you’ll remember that you were on the other side of the country when you became sick, so the flu shot probably wouldn’t have helped. But because you’re human, and we humans like patterns, you’ll probably come up with something else—be it stress or not eating your vitamins—to blame, ‘learn from,’ and feel satisfied.”

If you can’t tell, I’ve had a horrible case of the flu for the past couple of weeks (since GDC, in fact.)
