Do you live in fear?

You are exposed to 100′s of warnings, cautions and horrible news stories every day. You can not escape them it is on every medium that you read, watch or listen to. With all of these fear mongering mediums inundating you on a daily basis it makes me wonder what the effect is.

I have friends that live life in fear of the 0.1% or less. They change their lifestyle in fear that something could happen. I always live for 99.9% instead and choose not live in fear of something that could happen.

Can you think of something that changed your lifestyle because of the fear of the 0.1%?
