Rule of 3

They say that three people that you know usually die at a time. In my little experience, this seems to be pretty accurate. So what if you are on an isolated plateau and all you have and know and love are three other people on this isolated plateau? What if one of the other people dies? There are three of you left, but according to the rule of three, two more of you are soon to die. Statistically speaking, you have a better chance of being one of the two who dies rather than the one who lives, but you never know. Who would you rather be? Would you rather be dead or live alone on an isolated plateau? That was pleasant. Good day.
