Terrible things will happen to all of us

I find it odd that there are terrible things awaiting us in all of our futures. We could someday lose a limb, or everyone we love will leave. We could become paralyzed, or someone will corner us is an alley and rob and kill us. Yet we just sit around and go about our days as if we're not getting closer and closer to our individual grand disasters. It's become maddening to me, and I wonder if anyone else worries about this. I know there's nothing to be done about it and all we can do is live. But sometimes it fills me with panic. And other times I feel a mass connection with everyone else because we're all beset by something we can't see, that waits at a distance. It's mind-numbing.

Is this normal?

    Thats the fun part of living. Never knowing what tragedy awaits. Some things we can prevent like looking both ways before crossing a street to prevent getting run over. But other things are just totally out of our control.

    For example, this morning I went to a park to go for a walk, there could have been someone there with a gun just waiting to kill someone. Or one time I drove across some railroad tracks and the lights/bells were not working. The train just missed hitting my car, if I was about 2 seconds late I would have been killed. I mean it zoomed passed just missing my rear bumper by about 2-3 feet.

    Isn't it fun!!!

    You sound like a pessimist.

    Try to find positive things in life.

    It's like driving through life with no spare.
    Don't they realize that they are all going to die?
    Everyone should get cloned right away and then you'd at least have spare parts.
    I think I'll just have another cup of coffee and fart.

      Would you really want to live longer? I am so happy I won't be around to see the world of 2050. According to everything I've read, it will be a horrible place.

        For many people, the World is already a horrible place.
        I try to do what I can to make my remaining time on planet Earth as palatable as possible. I eat a healthy diet and exercise my mind and body etc.
        I don't let the things I have no control over get me down.
        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'! ~Hunter S. Thompson

          Well he made sure his journey to the grave wasn't in a pretty or well preserved body... unless your referring to the pretty big hole the gun made in his head. I can imagine him proclaiming 'Wow did you hear that loud noise?'

            Poor Hunter had major medical problems, physical and mental. He felt he was a burden to his friends and associates. He always stated that he never wanted to burden anyone with his existence.

          I certainly can't disagree with any of what you've posted. My personal motto has been 'never a dull minute' and my greatest fear is to die regretting the things I HAVEN'T done.

    It seems like just from sheer numbers some ppl are going to die really ordinary deaths without losing limbs or being murdered so I wouldn't worry that its going to happen to us all.

    How sad to be so afraid in life that you can't enjoy it. Don't you think it much worse to waste the time you have worrying about this fate than ignoring it and living a good life until it befalls you?
