We all take risks every day of our lives. I live in British Columbia, north of Seattle on the Cascadia fault. At any moment we could be rocked with an earthquake the size of Japan's or worse. But here's the thing....I don't live my life under a table. That would be just crazy. Why? Because the risk is so small that we must live our lives with a certain amount of risk. Same with getting into an automobile.

And yet emets often cannot take even a minute amount of risk. It's like we're living underneath the kitchen table. Many can't go places, can't send their kids places, can't touch something after using a cell phone. I could go on and on.

What do you do (or not do) because you're not able or willing to take any risk at all? How might you think about it differently?
