For me, this is simply a question of how I want to live my life. I have only been on TOTV for a short time and lived in TV for an even shorter time. During that time, I am always struck by how many of the posts on TOTV revolve around people's fears--fear of lightning, fear of sinkholes, fear of tornadoes, fear of hurricanes, fear of snakes, fear of alligators, fear of roundabouts, fear of the "evil" developer--the list is endless. I refuse to live my life in fear. I want to enjoy the years I have left not worrying about the "what ifs?"
That does not mean I am a daredevil or that I take unneccesary risks, it just means that my own personal philosophy is to enjoy life to its fullest, and I think this can best be achieved by not living in fear.
