I've been worrying recently A LOT about the bees dying and the hadron collider in Switzerland. Usually the summer is a nightmare for me. The heat and humidity make me feel really depressed.
1.) I'm not worrying about the bees for one simple reason. Human kind is not going to die off if the bees do. If such an event happen, all of humanity's scientists would almost certainly come together and work endlessly to help restore the bees or create an artificial way to pollinate plants. At worst, a economic depression. But not the end of the world.
2.) The hadron collider. I was scanning through articles about this and found one saying how it could destroy the Earth. As usual it frightened me. I read it anyway. But then I noticed the date of the article, "July 18, 1999." They were talking about the old collider in New York. Well that one was built, and it's been running fine for 8 years. The world did not end. Scientists saw nothing bad. And to top it off, even less noise and worry is being raised about this one compared to the last.
Overall I feel much less worried. But once 2007 is over, and 2008 is here, I will know for sure everything will have turned out fine. I'm just waiting patiently for that day.
I feel less worried and I need to put my energy into productive things.
I hope everyone is doing well and has a great worry-free summer!
