Life is not without risks

Tell me I know all about it.
"Getting old is not for pussies,' a pen-pal always said and he is right. You get older, you learn to deal with things, might handle certain issues easier because you know where to go, who to ask, what to do and learned a saving box isn't a bad idea (just like a health insurance) but still you are put at risk. Your life is.
It's hard work, sticking to 1001 rules if you want to stay out of the danger zone. Since most accidents happen at home hiding at home is no option. Women are abused at home. Most killed women are killed by someone they know. Children are abused and molested at home. Don't let us pretend home is the best place to be, family is because the statistics show the opposite.
Life is not without risk and will never be. The world we live in is filled with angry, aggressive, disappointed, abusive, dominating, people. Scammers, rapists, child abusers, women molestors. Hateful people who envy and suffer from a tunnel vision and who love to make others feel miserable.
You can hide, ignore them and if you do you miss the good things in life. Laughters, tricky animals, the latest designs, arts, Spring and the love of your life (which can be the cat or dog next door).
So go outside, keep in mind you die and greet, hug, love and enjoy your freedom. People do not drop dead on the street because of the coronavirus. A virus many had but most of them did not became sick at all. Heart attacks only make you drop dead. Viruses, bacteria are part of life, always have been and always have. So better embrace what you have.
