Tina’s Supplied Honesty

What kind of person are you? Would you pick a real live roller coaster at an amusement park or just opt for the Sim’s City computer animated version? 

I recently read a discussion question on a forum that I visit lately. It was someone from America explaining a horrific train accident that occurred in another country. They said that when the train wrecked it caused a lot of fear and ruckus. She also explained that many people were hurt and some were even killed. The member then proceeded to ask all other members if they would allow the fear of what could happen to force them into staying inside their homes at all times. If there were any people out there who would just stay home in efforts to try to ensure their safety. The one thing that really got me about all of this is that when explaining the crash, she stated that the accident was right in the middle of a community where people lived, which is what made it such a horrific accident! I personally do not understand the lock yourself inside the house to stay safe way of living!

I would never let the “what ifs” of the world stop me from doing anything that can bring me pleasure. If you look hard enough at every situation you can always find a negative in it! I work very hard to try to live my life in a positive life. I am not naive and do not ignore realistic fears, but to me natural disasters, or accidents are not worth ending the enjoyment or fun in my life.

Whenever I hear people say well what if you get into an accident while making a long car trip, or what if you hurt yourself it kind of makes me chuckle. I then smile and kindly remind them that you can fall down the stairs in your house and break your back, you can slip on a wet kitchen floor and get a concussion, you can walk across the street to check your mail and be hit by your neighbor, you can walk your dog and be mugged, and most importantly… anything is possible! If you may get hurt wouldn’t you rather have an AWESOME story to tell about how you were hurt? (more…)
