To: I fear losing my parents , but I fear another major world war
Me: Don’t be afraid of what you cannot control. S*** happens.
I doubt if there will be another World War in the accepted sense, because nobody wants to die and technology is so advanced now, that any war would probably be controlled by machines and computers, if that were to ever happen.
I lived at a time, during the early days of the cold war, when sirens used to go off every few weeks signalling intercontinental ballistic missiles from Russia were to arrive in 15 minutes from launch to blow me and everyone else away, in England – my father who was in the RAF was OK, he ran off to a secure bunker and left us to our fate.
I used to go outside and look for the contrails to watch the missiles coming in – of course, it never happened, which is why I am here today and you are too.
Life is too short, to worry about things which will probably never happen, so live your life to the fullest, as if every day was your last and leave wars and everything else to someone else, at a much higher pay grade than either of us, to worry about that sort of thing (smile)
