Me, I'm just the opposite, I don't give a rat's rear what punches life might throw at me, so why worry about it..Smile
But then I've got christian values, which undoubtedly help me achieve the right mindset.
Sadly, people without spiritual values are like wagons without springs, jolted by every pebble on the road..

I'd say that based on your time here you should probably fear hell. At a minimum, boils.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
