Also to consider is something known as, FOMO, which is the fear of missing out. Likewise, yes, we are all going to live, but in the very next breath of truth and reality, we are all going to die at some point as well.

Life is inherently fraught with risk, and as such, we have no choice but to embrace such risks, and mitigate them to whatever extent humanly possible.

To close a blind eye to such, and bury one’s head deep into the sands of disillusionment with regard to such, will most certainly deliver the most punishing aspects of reality to those who take this perceived easy way out in “going with the flow” of the disillusioned masses.

Good post, Meno, and good food for thought for those so inclined to feast upon such insights in order to reap the dividends thereof in the long run – and yes, reaping such legacy dividends to our heirs even after the lot of us are all dead and buried!
