Man, I love being able to live my life, not focused on the doom and gloom. The anxiety is gone as a result, and contrary to what you may believe, there is much peace.
I’ve heard story after story of the paranoid prepper, that becomes so fearful it affects their daily routine, to the point of almost total isolation. That’s no way to live the one and only life you have!
I believe in this philosophy; live right and worry none.
Swampy hit the nail on the head, again! It will be fear that eventually causes a man made catastrophe.
It’s too funny if you think about it. Most of this stuff comes from ‘God fearing’ individuals. Aren’t you supposed to be trusting in God and living your life accordingly?
Aside from keeping one’s spiritual house in order, I don’t see how anyone could prep for Armageddon. Look around the world and you will see that one does not have to wait on “fear” for the next man made catastrophe. Knowledge is a good thing and most men should stay up to date on current events, processing those events into your own convictions. I see all the gloom and doom in our world and it gives me gratitude that my kids do not have to live in a region where suicide bombers and sectarian killing is the norm.
Fear, anger, anxiety, grief etc. etc. are all natural emotions encoded in humans. I am sure some will say that they are exempt from certain negative feelings, but for those who are not; it only matters what you do with those feelings. You can live with peace all day long but I think those who have known sorrow, know gratitude along with and during their moments of peace. The harder something is to achieve the more it is valued once obtained. From what you have shared before, your life was not always a bed of roses… I would think you would agree that you can appreciate serenity more when you remember times in life where it was nowhere to be found.
Laughter, the side effect of the emotion found in humor, now that’s some good stuff there.
Actually, I do need to personally disagree with one statement. I do not keep up on current events much anymore. I honestly could care less about the fear mongering media. Once in a while I’ll check the news, but it’s not that often anymore.
