people still do things that are wrong (murder or say even theft for a lesser scale) if they know there's the slightest possibility of getting caught?

Why do people invest when they have the slightest chance of losing their money?

Calculated risk.

Why do birds suddenly appear, every time, you are near... Just like me, they long to be, close to you.....

I have cursed you all now for that song will be stuck in your head for the rest of the day. :D

they don't care about getting caught? they don't care about facing the consequences of their actions?
they don't fear the punishment of getting caught?
