One of the most important things to Americans is the safety of their family, homes and themselves. In fact this is common around the world in every human breed on every continent. Self-preservation is the strongest human need in our species. It appears to also be in other species as they have defense mechanisms to shield them from predators and behavior that betters their chances of survival during an attack. The fear of loss of life, family or home is a huge motivator of mankind and that fear is constantly used by governments to keep us in line, companies to get us to buy and others who wish to influence our decision making process.
If you will recall recently the book called "Fear" by Michael Creighton, he certainly hit the nail on the head, after all since 9-11 everyone has been so afraid. Afraid of their own shadow in fact; that book would have been a best seller if it had one word in it; "Boo!"
Insurance sells based on the fear of unknown; "What if "x" happens to you; then you will be glad you had "y" insurance policy. And last time I checked insurance is one of the biggest and most profitable industries in the world except maybe pharmaceuticals, which also use the same tactic; "If you have "x" chronic symptom, then you need "y" drug otherwise you could die!"
Obviously if you are reading this article you wish to be safe just like the little bunny rabbit that runs in a zig-zag pattern to better its chances of not being eaten by an owl or hawk. The zig-zag patterns is probably not a efficient as a point to point straight line, yet we see such behavior gives the rabbit peace of mind it can live another day.
What I am saying to you is this, there are times when you have nothing to fear, expect for the changes in your life you make because of such induced fear. So consider the source the fear and what you really need to do to be safe and then ditch the rest of the fears and delete that stress and you will live a more happy and fulfilled life. Think on this.
