Born To Die

Since this forum is essentially made up of expats and mentally culturally diverse / challenged (Used very liberally) I would like to pose a new thread more on the philosophy side. I have lived in few place in the world and usually by choice. I have come to love BsAs, however as there are in most cultures a few outstanding grips. One thing I have noticed in my limited travels is that the response to fear (being one of the most decisive factors of a society) I have an antidote for this:
The measure of a cultures maturity and unity can be measured by an individuals reaction to the site of fear.
Take a driver and a pedestrian. Three things pass through a driver's mind when faced with a fearful pedestrian.
1. I am all powerful and I am going to make you pray for your life.
2. I am all powerful and I am going to let you off this time.
3. I am in a potentially dangerous machine and I respect your passage.
Pedestrian fearful in the sight of overwhelming odds.
1. Deer in headlights. Maybe if I freeze I become invisible.
2. Maybe the the bird will make things even.
3. Flee.
I would have liked to put this in a more of a Chica antidote, but we all have our kinks.
