Do you rely on probability or possibility?

It varies, depending on what the situation may be.

Stacey, 26
MD
  USA

My life has always been based on probability, more so now that I'm getting older.

Reba, 50+
Silver Spring
, MD  USA

Probabilities seasoned with imagination. Possibilities seasoned with experience.

Jill, 61

I tend to rely on probability since it's the strongger of the two.

It depends on the context.

Jane, 62

, OR   USA

Definitely probability. I'd rather know what the chance is of something happening, because everything is a possibility.

Jeremy, 14

Neither; I rely on faith

Melodi, 19
Gahanna
, OH   USA

The possible keeps me going, and the probable keeps me grounded.

Felicia, 36
Lowell
, MA USA

I try not to rely on either actually.

Fisch, 47

Good question.. I think I rely on a mix of both. Because possibilities are endless, but probability is a factor that should be considered.

Sarah Jane, 15
Preston
, CT   USA

I rely on both... can't afford not to.

Doug2, 29

Probability mostly with a little possibility thrown in to make life interesting.

Let me put it too you like this: There is a high probability I will say 'whatever' today...and there is a good possibility that the guy who works next to me will ask me if I am keeping myself clean, safe and sane...and there is an excellent probability that said person will wear purple on Friday...

I don't do dangerous things because of the probability that I might get hurt. And I don't worry about the miniscule possibility that I might get cancer from eating certain foods. So, I guess I usually rely mostly on probability.

Judy, 62
Easton
, KS   USA

I think a little bit of both. Things can be probable but impossible, and possible but improbable. They work well together....

Nicci, 27
Las Vegas
, NV   USA

Probably!

Talia, 25
Stamford
, CT   USA

Tough one. I'm not really sure. I like to know that is is both. I might  lean toward possibility more.

Triana, 29
Austin
, TX   USA

Both. But I'd say the one I rely on most is possibility.

Lisa J., 23
TN  USA

No.

Karen, 22
Ames

Possibility

Brad, 21
Sydney  AUSTRALIA

Probability. I'm a physicist, remember?

Cancer, 20

, NY   USA

That's a damn good question! I think I'd have to go with possibility. Taking chances doesn't scare me, but chance does (does that make sense?) But I'm always open to the fact that everything and anything is possible.
