In poker, when two beautiful monstrous hands go head to head 'till the very last community card; the river, eventually if one loses to the other in a very good combination with community cards, like one hand makes a full house and the other makes a four of a kind, it's called bad beat. Like pair of aces lose to pair of tens. There are times and situations in life that I call them bad beat too. The other day, a friend of mine was telling me a story of a young brilliant kid, a classmate of his, had barely stepped into seventeenth year of his life at the time, got overdosed with drugs and died right in front of his eyes. That's a bad beat. I believe life is an accident and most of the time it is a good accident. Indefinite factors have to coincide to give birth to a human being. When a man is born no one asks why, why did this happen. But when a life ends almost everyone takes a moment to think could this be prevented, even if the diseased is 94 years old.
