Most people are conditioned into the security bubble, without ever leaving it, or ever having to leave it.
They are nature's victims. (or should I say victims of their own making?)
If you have never lived life 'on the edge', it's an abstract concept , something to be viewed on TV.
I feel sorry for those that never have to be honest.
You have never lived until close to death an' all that...
(going parachuting doesn't even come close, for those that fool them selves they are 'on the edge'. ...I mean real life.)
I have had enough 'living on the edge' to last me a lifetime, but when/if the shit hits the fan, it won't be a life threatening biggie...Just a change.
(a bloody annoying one, but only that).
Most people unfortunately, will become headless chickens...the price of decadence.
It's best to understand, and sometimes on the edge the only way for some to "Get it". But it's not required. I've got survival skills, so I can get on with life if things fall apart. I didn't need to be there already to prepare myself ;)
I only use myself as a comparison.
Before and after kind of thing.
I'm pretty sure the 'before' version of me would not 'get through it' (and I've always been the huck finn type, shooting etc when I was young).
It the psychological mindsets, not the physical hardships (imo)
