I have encountered articles and discussions suggesting that fearing terrorist is irrational, even bordering on paranoia. The major source of that fear is the notion of a terrorist possessing a nuclear weapon. We cannot ignore the potential of millions beheaded in a moment.
I have also encountered articles and discussions suggesting that fearing global warming is irrational, even bordering on paranoia. The major source of that fear is the notion of a rise in sea levels. We cannot ignore the potential of relocating millions of people in the future.
The terrorist scenario - I won't fear what I don't believe to be non-existent.
Food for thought on fear in general:
- Fear knocked. Faith answered. There was nobody there.
- Worry is like making advance payment on something you're not likely to get anyway. Mark Twain
