No, not if I don't do that thing. I will not have a first time for murder. Getting murdered might be out of my control, but I won't commit one.

I view it as a thought terminating cliché people use when they're too lazy ti fully explain themselves. It can be useful for things that are truly obvious, like if you try touching something fresh out of the stove without protection you'll get burned, it doesn't really add anything to bother explaining it.
