Sadly people are fulfilling the very probable dilettante stereotype of acting like pretentious crap actually has meaning.

Did you actually read the fucking sentence and think about it?

It doesn't have to be swerving into traffic. It could just be not showing up on time to get the kids to school. It could be sexual assault of a minor.

In general, a good life involves showing up for people and supporting them. If you do that well, people come to expect it, and then...

Well, guess what? In a huge, important (to others!) part of your life, you become rather predictable.
