    But I don’t have the luxury of knowing specifically where and when the people that break things are going to be.

    Wtf? That’s terrible advice to give anyone, much less everyone.

    The helpful frame of mind is always to imagine the potential good one might purvey.

      Endorsing morbid ideation is irresponsible and cruel, and it’s not even useful, since the ratchet of prevention focus clicks in one direction only.

      Fear is a costly motivator. Spreading it to preserve the status quo (or worse, to preserve yourself) is cowardice. We should fight for each other and a better world.

      I’m sure she means well, but she’s wrong here. Do not follow this advice.

    This sounds great until I’m in a never ending mood/cycle of constant anxiety. Feeling as though I have to spend every bit of energy, every second trying to prevent the incoming disasters and doom. That if I give up or don’t try hard enough then I’d be culpable for it happening. Since, “I knew” and should have done something about it.

    “Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die” was literally about this, and it was great. I expected it to be amusing but run out of steam after the first act. It just got better and better.
