Don't be surprised

"There is the lulling of anxiety through repeated success, or the loss of respect (or fear) for past experience."

Sitting at O'Hare, waiting for my plane to board, I read these words in an article describing the calendaric coincidence of the triple space tragedies of Apollo, Challenger and Columbia of January 27, January 28 and Feb 3 of different years.

Seems a common theme throughout pretty much the evolution of man. Things are hard, difficult, new. They're done a few times. They get easier, and easier. Soon, there's no challenge in them, and they become rote, not scary, boring.

Let down your guard. Don't be surprised what happens.
