Where people go wrong is ignoring the thousands of other steps that come after it. They decide to become one with the universe and forget to do the things that would give it any kind of meaning. Normality is what you make it. The phrase 'someone ought to do something' is not, in itself, helpful. People never add 'and that someone is me'.
Most people go through the world with their eyes shut and their brains set to 'simmer'.
Bad things don't only happen to bad people. Never mind what should be, or what might be, or what ought to be. It's what things are that's important. Don't sweat the small stuff, and remember, it's all small stuff. To reject risk is to reject life.
