An odd question that came to my mind.
#34
RE: An odd question that came to my mind.
The possibilities of what lies behind that door cover the entire spectrum, from paradise, to eternal torture... with a 50% chance the result will fall on one side or the other. A 50% chance of a bad result is what's known in gambling circles as a 'risk'.

Personally, my life is happy enough that opening the door is not worth that risk. Sure, there is also a 50% chance my life would get better, but I'm happy enough, as is, that the possible cons outweigh the possible pros.
