I'm scared of flying too, haven't flown since I was a kid and had no choice over family holidays. When I fly I can't stop imagining the plane falling out of the sky, and all that would take is a faulty part or human error or a bird flying into one of the engines
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin
