And it is not a good asymmetry: you are fragile.
kept the good and ditched the bad; cut the downside and kept the upside. Self-servingly, that is, by eliminating the harm from the fate and unphilosophically keeping the upside.
If you have more to lose than to benefit from events of fate, there is an asymmetry, and not a good one.
Fragility implies more to lose than to gain, equals more downside than upside, equals (unfavorably) asymmetry.
