Be not afraid of FEARMONGERS

There is a condition - generalised anxiety disorder

where the afflicted sees hidden dangers in everything.

You can sometimes spot them. They have a bizarre walk,

arms flailing, coming at you.

Suppose I made a few espressos in the morning and added

real cream, they might raise an eyebrow and say that is

going to clog my arteries. They would see danger hidden

there.

Or if I light a candle in a lantern they think the hedge

near it will catch fire and it will spread everywhere.

They think every thing is really flammable.

There's no talking to them.

And I think these people are enabled by twitter, tik

tok, or whatever. And fired up by the media and the

clickbait vids.

They think you have to switch off everything when you

leave the house.

If you leave your car window open an inch or two and

they say, 'do you know your window is open' (passive

aggressive) rather than just 'your window is open'.

And there I am I don't even wear a seatbelt and my dogs

run loose at the park. I drink from life's cup.

And just ignore them.
