It's human nature to worry, Belly.

The real problems occur when we don't also have some positive thoughts going on in our mind as well.

I always try to add a positive slant on something I am worried about.
It works for me anyway :)

I am sorry, I clearly am not getting my point across, my fault.
I wanted to talk about those who do not worry.
And maybe do not think.
About the life is on auto pilot it is ok I do not need to think people.
They exist, they swim in a rip because it will be ok, they back out of the driveway without looking.
Life is all planed by others it can never happen to me.
It was my intention to discuss why some do wander from disaster to mishap and blame fate for the blinkers they put on.
Taking responsibility for our own actions.
Just maybe, hoping the next tragic event,they come all too often, see some say its up to us to think this out save our selves huddling in a room will not do it.
I am not a great deal different than any one but years of training give me no time for fear, it is the fuel that drives me to act and until the event is over I am unaware of it.
Then? huge impact.

Belly:"It was my intention to discuss why some do wander from disaster to mishap and blame fate for the blinkers they put on."

I think there are a myriad of reasons, including a lack of natural capacity to foresee problems with their course of action; poor upgringing and lack of training as children; emotional problems causing a lack of resilience; mental health issues; "learned helplessness" that is fostered by a life taking handouts.

The list is extensive.

There are also some people who are simply "happy-go-lucky". They trust in their own capacity to resolve or deal with problems and so don't worry too much about them occurring. "Easy come, easy go". I suspect that's probably my own nature to a large degree.

All of that antiseptic, just after the dreadful tsunami in our near north a warning [proved wrong] went out for our east coast,
People took deck chairs down to the sea on the beach, to watch it come in, madness.
In days when fathers had more power an American father and grand father ordered his missionary daughter and son in law, with his granden, to stay in the Philippines, war would not come.
They fell in to enemy hands within weeks, he died while they where being held.
It happens to others, not me, that is the truth, some are unable to see life is not in charge it is not on auto we need to be in control.

Given that talk of Julian is everywhere I’m going to repeat his name again.

Did Mr Assange decide what the personal consequences might be before leaping into the world with WikiLeaks?

Yep I bet he did, I bet he had a long think about what could happen to him and he still chose bugger the backlash. Bugger them all.

I admire this Australian Anarchist, or that is what I heard the yanks were calling him.

So I think sometimes it aint the “Not me mate” thing but more of the qué se-rá, se-rá Belly.

It's what happens when the nanny state takes over, Belly. They're all dumb, thinking the great big government will take care of everything for them.
