We depend on the good judgment and wisdom of 1000s of complete strangers to remain alive each day.

Other drivers, people we pass on the street, food preparers, basically everyone we interact with or who has contributed to the fabric of our lives. All or at least most with good intentions and educated in their roles and in a reasonably healthy mental state, at least for that moment.

Now multiply that number of people by the number of family and friends that you love and hold dear and the fragility of any of us living to the next day is frightening.

As society continues to fail us, mental health deteriorates, and basic morals and education decline, it’s an actual miracle we all have stayed relatively intact and unscathed for this long with all these odds increasingly stacked against us.
