Leib's Corollary to Murphy's Laws is as Follows:
Any time nothing goes wrong, that means there was no possible way for anything to go wrong.
Think on that...and I look forward to comments.

Necessitating the fact, that one would have to be in perception of all the possibilities, for a conclusion to be made that 'there was no possible way for anything to go wrong'.
Well... Murphy's Law is that if anything can go wrong it will...so the corollary is...

Maybe this:
"
Within the boundaries of possibility perceived by the human organism: Any time nothing goes wrong, that means there was no possible way for anything to go wrong."
But I see what you mean!
It becomes a circular argument ;D

I didn't mean to disparage your efforts...... sometimes i think too much ;D
What were you trying to convey in posting this??
Well, I guess if One wants to get cumbersome... [grin] Actually, whether We perceive it or not, Leib's Corollary still holds. I'm thinkin'.
EDIT to add: I note that Murphy and all His spawn are very pessimistic. I thought I would add a more positive note.

Too true!
Your corollary is more positive, in that it basically states: "Stop worrying about things not going wrong, and be happy that things went right"
P.S. I am changing my middle name to cumbersome ;D
Like that word, eh? [grin] [wink]
Perfection is in the imperfections.
People tend to think perfection is when there are no mistakes, nothing wrong everything 'perfect'.
In the greater scheme of things, all mistakes, things that appear wrong, etc are meant to happen for a reason - usually so something can happen.
Ergo, perfection is
in the imperfections.
Is the 'Mona Lisa' Perfect or imperfect?

If it is as it was meant to be, then isn't it perfect?
From that perspective, nothing can go 'wrong' ever. lol
Though I still hate it when things don't go the way I wanted them to... >:(
In my world, if something hasn't gone wrong, it just hasn't gone wrong yet.
Just the nature of things.
No pessimism.
I deal with it like I always do, professionally.

O'Tooles Observation on Murphy's Law:
Murphy was an optimist.
;) ;)
Any time nothing goes wrong..widen your vision..something has to for balance
;D
Well... "Perfection" and "going right" are slightly different, I would think. If the "flaws" make things better, more distinctive, unique, then it went right?
I think so.
If things go right in the Now, then nothing can go wrong Now.
Murphy may have been an optimist... Of course, this is subjective. The definitions of "going wrong" and "going right" vary greatly.
And if One widens vision, somewhere there is likely a perceived "wrongness," for someOne. Yet One may see "wrongness" where Others see "rightness."
Thank You all for Your comments!
When looking at something too big for any one individual to see, the more eyes on it the better. If you were on one side of a giant sphere, and I was on the other - then separately we have a very limited picture of what we're really looking at. Neither of us are wrong in our view, but we still aren't right about what we're looking at until we combine our views - (even then our combined views are limited until we have even more perspectives.)
Each viewpoint counts when it comes to seeing the bigger picture. Each of us in the Universe are given a slightly different perspective for a reason I suppose.
By sharing our individual perspectives we help eachother to see a larger more accurate picture and eventually the truth.
So to see the truth, we each have to share and help eachother or we have limited vision, limited truth and an 'untrue' picture.
When the Mona Lisa was first created, I'm sure it shined as new things do and must have looked even more beautiful. Through the many years it began to change and decay. The decay shows character in many ways which makes us appreciate it from another perspective.
Should the Mona Lisa then be allowed to decay unto nothingness as nature does with almost all things? If we repair it then we have changed it, so it will never be the same again. If we do not repair it then it will be lost for all future time.
What is the 'right' thing to do?

But the Secret of the Universe (and the Secret Societies) is that you have the power to change it...
Now how does that fit into the equation?
::)

There is only ONE Universal constant
Entropy wins in the End
I'd disagree... Though life units succumb to entropy, life is negentropic and persists. Well, I guess if the universe ends... But we don't know it will.
Just thought I would bump this... [smile]
I don't think I've ever experienced Leib's Corollary. Murphy's Law? Daily. Sigh.

You mean to say things have NEVER gone right for You Shasta? Oh, that is so sad.

As a boater, I know the Murphy's law, and the corollary well:)
I see the gist of this post, albeit a bit late(sorry:))to mean that when things are perfect, they remain that way. And if they remain perfect, they cant become imperfect. :)
It kinda reminds me of a favorite saying in french....plus que change, plus se la meme chose...the more that things change, the more they stay the same. 8)
Cheers, Amy, my wordsmith friend! ;D

[smile] Thanks, Dave. Yes, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
