All of my life I have been afraid of The One Truly Bad Thing. Death. With the help of my religion, however, I seem to have come to terms with it. There is, though, the thing that most of us are even more afraid of. The One Truly Bad Thing Which Leads Up To The One Truly Bad Thing. That is the thing like cancer or heart attack or stroke or car accident or getting shot by a ******. This is the thing that really hurts. I can't seem to come to complete terms with this even with the help of my religion. Then there is that other Bad Thing. This is the thing that is so bad that it freaks everybody out. The End Of The World! I don't know about this. But, you know, the dinosaurs died. One thing that I do know is that if you watch the media, you might think that it's coming, but if you don't, if you just watch the everyday world, you probably won't think it's coming. I suppose we could explode because some star goes supernova or something, or the north pole becomes the south pole or something, but I don't know. Actually, not knowing has saved me thus far. Sure does seem like there are more Bad Things than Good Things on this planet, but if you think like I do, that every moment of life is a Good Thing, then it's not so bad. I don't know, most people don't think so.
