>>You can lose everything in a second by not looking left and right while crossing the road. Or even by looking left and right while crossing the road, when someone else is driving recklessly.

The point is you are lured into crossing the road, when you absolutely didn't have to.

How are you "lured" by reading an article about someone who successfully crossed the road, any more than you are "lured" into a singing career by reading about Adele or "lured" into building an instagram clone?
