Where did the fear come from?

Back in the day if I had a car problem I could make a call and someone would rescue me. And tell me don't worry, everything will be fine. Now there is no one except Triple A.
I wouldn't be on the road without them though. The times I've used them, the drivers are always super nice. And so are the people at the call in center. Couple dead batteries and flats over the years.
 
I’m not more fearful – just more cautious. I don’t take unnecessary risks but I am not fearful, except maybe of snakes. If I want to do something, I will find a way even if it isn't conventional. Life is meant to be enjoyed.
 
For my part, I was more fearful and had less self confidence in my youth than I do now.
However, if I grow frail and feeble or develop some debilitating physical malady, that would probably change.
On that point, I do an hour to an hour and a half of zone 2 moderate exercise every day and I eat a healthy, mostly (but not entirely) plant based diet.
I intend to do better as an old man than I did as a young man. I'm still working on the mental health thing....
