---Not a happy post---
Lately I've been thinking of terms of "getting my chance" to live my life. My fear that a disaster may end the world has altered my thinking to make me constantly question whether or not I'll get the chance to live out the rest of my life.
Will I get a chance to be old? To live in a stable world where I can pursue my goals? Or was I born too late and the world will enter an era instability or simply will it end soon due to a science experiment gone wrong?
Sometimes when I'm driving around I see some little kid and think, "don't they deserve their chance too?" They aren't even aware of the dangers of this world.
Similar events almost happened within a week of my birth:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_PetrovI live in a city that without a doubt would have been targeted as one of the first to be hit. My city was known as "ground zero" long before 9/11 happened. But we got lucky and we're all still here today.
I hope nothing terrible happens in my life. I don't want to live in a world like what was lived during the Middle (Dark) Ages and the Black Plague that wiped out over half of Europe's population. I don't want some scientist to screw up or the widespread dying of the bees to create some sort of "dark era" of suffering in human history.
I think I deserve to live out my life as most others throughout history have.
I think everyone deserves their chance. Humans today, in my opinion, are much less evil that what has been see in the past. The world is more peaceful now than I think ever. We've done good (or at least tried), I hope God will secure a safe world for us.
