All things in moderation....?

[Eliza Hodgkins 1812]

I'm scared of flying because I'm scared the plane will plummet to the earth with me inside, screaming and wetting myself whilst begging someone as helpless as I am for help.

I still fly.

I'm scared that a drunk driver is going to run into me when I'm walking around my neighborhood at night, listening to some tunes and thinking about architecture.

I still walk around my neighborhood at night.

I'm scared that the things I sometimes put into my body will eventually lead to sickness.

I still drink coffee, occasionally have a smoke, drink alcohol and eat fried chicken, complete with a butter drenched waffle.

I'm scared of a lot of things, but I enjoy the things I like, and so long as those things are not an injury to others, I'm going to continue to enjoy them.

If I live to be a hundred, I don't want it to be because of deprivation.
