“...In fact, I’m not as scared as when I wrote that earlier post. Not nearly so at all....”
Recognizing that it’s a possibility, you prepare as best you can against the possibility of it, and move on with your life - like we do with everything else.
Yeah, it’s alarming; but there’s nothing any single one of us can do to prevent it if it happens except react, and then maybe go proactive.
Live life each day, know what you intend to do or not do ahead of time, and control what personal spheres of influence you can control.
Things fall as they will, the world moves as it will, and we all have the part to play in it that God set before us.
At the end of things, all we can do is say “I did my duty.”
Your points about the consensus are spot-on.
“At the end of things, all we can do is say “I did my duty.”’
If, at the end of things, we, each of us, are so privileged as to be able to honestly declare from the innermost caverns of our being, “I did my duty”, then we become the recipients of riches everlasting.
And thank you for the kind words. They reassure that I am not alone.
