Be not afraid of FEARMONGERS
There is a condition - generalised anxiety disorder
where the afflicted sees hidden dangers in everything.
You can sometimes spot them. They have a bizarre walk,
arms flailing, coming at you.
Suppose I made a few espressos in the morning and added
real cream, they might raise an eyebrow and say that is
going to clog my arteries. They would see danger hidden
there.
Or if I light a candle in a lantern they think the hedge
near it will catch fire and it will spread everywhere.
They think every thing is really flammable.
There's no talking to them.
And I think these people are enabled by twitter, tik
tok, or whatever. And fired up by the media and the
clickbait vids.
They think you have to switch off everything when you
leave the house.
If you leave your car window open an inch or two and
they say, 'do you know your window is open' (passive
aggressive) rather than just 'your window is open'.
And there I am I don't even wear a seatbelt and my dogs
run loose at the park. I drink from life's cup.
And just ignore them.
