I am not sure texting while driving is even about "taking a risk". It is simply doggedly following an inane desire like scratching an itch and laziness, as you point out.
Often risks are not at all "willed" but simply things that are not avoided.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
There is a risk in every action we do, and there are no universal and complete statistics on it so we can evaluate the risk and decide which is less risky.
But still common sense is useful.
So I find it pointless to decide what to do based on its risk. Sometimes I do, especially if the activity is just for fun, but when there's a meaningful goal, why not die for it, especially when we know we're gonna die anyway.
