Signs Meant to Scare not Repair

Whenever I see those signs outside of restaurants and other food eateries where its like “Beware this place has chemicals known to cause cancer” I think of absolutely how stupid it sounds. That’s like the equivalent of someone going bungee jumping and someone saying “Beware, you can die from doing this.” Well no shit, you can die from this and anything else. With life, there is always risk. There is never not risk, and to assume there isn’t at sometime is to assume the position of ignorance is in my opinion, choosing stupidity. 

Driving in your car could kill you, walking on the street could kill you, meeting someone new could kill you. We are constantly surrounded by risk. Realistically there is never a moment when the potentiality of death is not there. Why would you be afraid of the inevitable? If it happens okay you’re dead. What are you going to do about it? If you’re alive, cool you’re still here. Are you going to focus on the one million different ways you can die or actually focus on what you want to accomplish while you’re still alive. It’s way too time consuming to focus on an infinite amount of probabilities of death you could encounter when you could be focusing on an infinite amount of probabilities of how you can enhance your life and the lives around you. Trust me, the latter is much more worth your time and energy.
