    I know I can't do anything about things like cancer and swords to the eye.

Cancer? No. Swords to the eye?

Your life has spiraled out of control in truly novel and unprecedented ways if you can't control for "swords to the eye."

Well, alright, I can avoid historic garments and sharp pointy stabby things. But accidents like that are generally hard to avoid. "Accidents hide in the smallest corners", as the Dutch saying goes.
