Seems a little bit defeatist to start avoiding things out of fear for your safety. Fear for your safety is natural... but the way I see it is, if something is going to happen it is going to happen, and there's nothing you can do to stop it - so why avoid living your life in the meantime. In the event of the worst - getting mowed down while eating a dumpling - it's not like your death would be dishonorable... the only dishonor would go to the gutless fecks who shot you.
It's the same thing as people and their Armageddon fears. Yeah - so the earth might blow up someday. But it hasn't yet, so relax! And if it does happen, will it make any difference that you wasted your final days wringing your hands about it? Not at all.
Que sera, sera.
