QotD: Security is a superstition


"I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; I will not refuse to do the something I can do. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature."
~ Helen Keller

  2. One of the harshest lessons I ever learned was that all organisms are one heartbeat away from death. The idea that we can take some action that eliminates the possibility of bad things happening to us is pure magical thinking; it's as realistic as thinking Santa brings presents to all good little boys and girls in one night!

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
