I was compelled to reply to this.

When we look at certain scenarios such as this that have a probability of happening we should view them in the same way we view any other possible event that we encounter in our daily lives.

When we go for a walk by the roadside we do not do so wearing a blindfold while dressed in black clothing.
Instead we take into consideration all the possibilities of what may go right and what may go wrong.
This way we may can navigate the road safely. In doing this we do not hold fear in our hearts but adopt a confident realistic attitude of awareness.
When we are aware the chances of anything negative happening are greatly reduced and we will most likely arrive at our destination unscathed.

From what ive witnessed so far, there are many probable futures which may be in store for mankind. To shun these aside for favour of a happier and more idealistic vision of the world can in turn work to our demise.

The chances of a truck hitting us are slim, but when we are aware that trucks may pass down this road then the chances are even smaller.

Awareness of all probable events is neccesary even if it is to prepare us for something that will not happen.

Fear is not the key, it is awareness that keeps us alive.
