People have probably worried about The End Of The World ever since humans developed the ability to think about the future, rather than constantly living in the moment as animals do.
When I was a kid, it was nuclear annihilation and a new Ice Age (yeah, seriously). My family also belonged to a couple of sects that were convinced the Second Coming was imminent.
Allowing yourself to obsessively worry about things that are completely out of your control isn't good for your mental health. Remember the media isn't trying to paint a realistic picture of the world we live in, but rather is trying to make a dime. I'm not saying everything in the news is a lie, but they do need drama to sell their product.
If the whole Korea thing blows up, that would create big problems for those who live there, but I assume you don't. Try to focus on the good things in your life and working to make life a little better for those around you.
i tend to agree , things beyond our control are not worth a fucking moments of our time. i grew up in the nuke testing era , they cracked off 3000 nukes 520 were in the air. we all made it and we will make it past world war three.
Is it normal that im constantly scared of nuclear war?
