Exactly.

Death is inevitable. Why concern yourself with something you have no way of stopping. Eventually, your number's up.



Actually, now that I really think about it. I fear nothing.
That doesn't mean that I don't have the ability to feel afraid if I perceive myself to be in danger .... but I certainly don't live my daily life in fear ... of anything.

A bear, as psychotic killer, a nuclear attack, a crocodile on a golf course ... I fear none of this unless they are actually realized to be an actual significant and immanent threat.

Being afraid in a given moment is nature's safety mechanism, but fear in one's daily life is just irrational.

Fear in one's daily life is just irrational.

I agree with that,

Some how I get the feeling that most people are moved by fear more than love. Fear to me is more about the unknown yet when you understand the threat, it's more of a matter of time to understand that unknown fear.
