To know death is to control your fear

[Cinjin]

I went to Southeast Asia in a twenty-man team. Fifteen of them died in-country and four more died before they were forty-five. I was present at 17 of those deaths. Death don't scare me none.

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.
