Panic kills after you are about 40 or 50. Why?

This I have noticed is true of most or all people. This is why learning to be calm in the face of almost anything in life is useful. It's important to grieve your losses as those you love pass away but it's also important to find ways to calm yourself so you don't panic from all the losses through the years.

Imagine what our forebears went through if you study history. In some ways we have it much easier than they did in that there aren't as many thing and situations trying to kill us as they had.

No wonder they believed in God because basically there was nowhere else to turn to. I think the main reason more people don't believe in God is because they have science and medicine.

However, when I grew up in the 1950s people were dying like flies all around me because medicine wasn't very good yet. So, people trusted medicine about 50% less than now. Also, people are much more educated nationwide too so they aren't as ignorant generally speaking as they were in the 1950s when I grew up. But, in other parts of the world people still can be pretty ignorant and people here sometimes enforce their ignorance when they get certain news sources that might not be telling them enough truth for them to survive it.

Corporations also dumb down the news a lot who now own most news outlets. So, there isn't much truth or useful information in the news for anyone really lately no matter where you are looking these days.

So, I worry that people are just not getting enough useful information in their lives to continue to survive very well worldwide. I think this is one of my major concerns lately for mankind's general survival ongoing.
