Inevitable

I think it's a stupid word. Few things are really inevitable, and in many cases the fact that you recognize something's likelihood is exactly what makes it evitable. More often than not I find the word becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and/or an excuse not to do hard things. This is a complicated world we live in, and people are complicated; if you think you've got human nature figured out to the point where you can declare the inevitability of any human action, you're painfully underselling the human race.
