"And Then, I was Unlucky"

And you know my motto: if nothing's horrific, life is terrific. And I lived by that. I never thought that nothing horrific would happen to me. I, I always believed I might well be the other guy. Because people think it's always the other guy who gets into a terrible car accident or skiing accident or a fall, which is what I had. I never thought that. So every day I said what I thought, how lucky I was. And, uh, that I was unlucky. And as I write in my Bible commentary, in the book of Numbers, the fourth book of the Bible, of the Torah, there is a, uh, a a commandment of God or of Moses, and it is that by lottery the tribes will be apportioned parts of the Holy Land. By lottery. So it's just the luck of the draw. And a lot of traditional Jewish commentators said God would decide what— where the lottery would fall. But these are great men, but I don't understand that view. God commands a lottery. And he'll decide what the lottery does, then why didn't he just tell them? You know, Asher, you go here. Gad, you go here. Reuben, you go here. There is luck in life, and I had bad luck on November 12th, 20— 24. But I've had great luck virtually every day before that and every day since that.
