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. / / / IOLFREE
