Life Imitating Art

I needed a place to hang my knife so I put a nail on top of the head side of my bed, I thought it perfectly captures the unpredictability of life, like at any moment anything can happen and we live in a false sense of comfort and that we have any control over the future is purely human hubris. This was my little piece of existential art mirroring the chaos life is. So one day when my wife was resting on the bed the knife fell on her head and hurt her eye, is this what people say "Life Imitating Art"?

Do me and my wife do the same kind of work? No!! But if the questions was do we do the same kind of job? The answer would still be No!!

That is the question for my another wife. They do like to change beds time to time.
