Panic!

There is nothing like a terrorist threat to take your mind off the bloody invasion of another country. Then along comes a financial crisis to divert out attention from those peskie suicide bombers. No sooner have we bailed out the banks with our magical money printing machine than we get some relief in the form of an piggy pandemic.

More people are killed by deer than sharks, but you don't see park rangers running around like nutcases.

And this from Tricycle's Daily Dharma

"Do you live as though you have all the time in the world? Having all the time in the world is an illusion. You never know what might happen—an accident, an illness, or a disaster. If you only had moments to live, would you change your priorities? What would you do? Where would you go? How you would interact with your family, friends, loved ones—even strangers? But truly: Why are you not doing these things now?"

–Arnie Kozak, from Wild Chickens and Petty Tyrants (Wisdom)
