Why do people choose to live in fear?


 
Recently a co-worker and his wife went to the movies. He came into work and told us that he wanted to ask what we thought about something he observed - a man bringing a backpack into the theater. All 3 of us responded - He was probably sneaking in food and drinks into the movie. His analysis - Could it be filled with loaded guns? My response - Considering the number of theaters in this country, the odds of someone trying to shoot up that particular theater is actually pretty low. Of course he instantly had thought of the Colorado shooting. He asked us if we would have said anything to any of the theater workers. The uniform answer was No. He actually did and that did not get him very far.

I always tell people that I refuse to live in fear and always assume the worst. I have situational awareness of my surroundings and old fashioned common sense but I see no reason to assume that a disaster is around every corner. I don't own a gun nor do I feel a need to own one. It is so sad that so many people choose to live in fear and constantly assume the worse.

I don't know of any gun owners who live in fear. A gun is like a fire extinguisher, if you have one in your kitchen it doesn't mean that you are living in fear of fire, it just means if one were to happen you would have and be able to use it if needed. It's called being prepared DUmmy, when the police or fire fighters are minutes away and seconds count you are better off with both.

2. Are they conservatives?

I find that conservatives love to be scared and scare others! LOL

Funny it is the libs who are scared of everything, they fear guns in the hands of a good man, they fear that cow farts and SUVs will melt the planet, they fear that someday society will come to its senses and realize that an unborn baby is just that a baby. Without fear you can not have liberalism.

How is being aware of your surroundings living in fear ? Living in fear would be never going to the theatre again for fear of a shooter.

Exactly!

When my car is low on fuel, I find a gas station, pull over and fill up. To liberals, that means I live in fear.

We're talking about kooks. There's no rhyme or reason with them.

The best advice I can give is for the DUchebags to look in the mirror and ask that question.

I live prepared. Hoping for the best and prepared for the worst.

 :whatever:  There are some areas I used to frequent that would reduce you to a quivering lump of apprehension.

Come again?  Whose lightbringer seems to revel in that shiite?  Not to mention getting a vicarious thrill watching drone strike/assassination video.

Pure projection.
