Existing in a sterile environment is not living, in my opinion. I have noticed that we seem to have lost more than our basic freedoms (I live in Canada) through all of these measures. Creativity and passion have slipped away, spontaneity and joy have been replaced with caution. I would rather live with risk than merely pass time in a box, waiting for the inevitable.
Ahh this is epic! Saftey mania 😆 so good. And awesome to be able to name it. 'No that's an irrational decision made due to safety mania, we can do better.'
Imagine if they took a poll of everybody's most important values at election time, I think there would be a heap of options above safety. Make desicions based on what people value the most.
I share Hunter S Thompson’s sentiment: “ Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
I love the whole idea of falling in love (again) with the world 🌍 you have inspired me! We are intent on an adventure, having both just got our pensions- off through Spain for the winter with our camper van Matilda 🚐 thanks Charles

There is a cure for death. Don't Live. LOL Thanks again Charles!
Maybe, like the Brits during the Blitzkrieg, those who have been through fear and survived it will become more resilient.
Another brilliant essay,/broadcast & thankyou so much for keeping the compass pointing north.....
Fear of death is exploited, easily, because of the spiritual void whereby our nature inclines us.
